METSÄ WOOD : WOODEN ROOF OF MACALLAN DISTILLERY RESONATES AUTHENTICITY AND HONESTY
The Macallan
Distillery and Visitor Experience in Craigellachie , Speyside in Scotland is a stunning sight . Five meadowcovered hills hide the undulating roof of the distillery . The contemporary building combines a wooden roof with glass and steel . Fast , light and green Kerto LVL ( laminated veneer lumber ) was used as part of the prefabricated roof .
The building includes a Visitor Experience centre , three still houses and a mash house with a common roof and fully glazed wall . This reflects the wishes of the Macallan Distillery , a premium brand , whose single malt whisky production dates back to 1824 . The goal was a contemporary facility celebrating phasing , authenticity and honesty .
“ Kerto LVL is a very good engineered wood material , because you can trust the material dimensions ,” says Johannes Rebhahn , Sales Director International Timber Projects at Wiehag , who was responsible for the roof construction .

MORE POWER , MORE CONNECTIVITY
GEZE have completely upgraded their control panels for smoke and heat extraction systems . Control units are the brain and the power supply of the smoke and heat extraction systems in a building . The new THZ N4 and THZ Comfort replace the previous versions and offer a more powerful power supply , increased connectivity and easier installation .
In addition to extracting smoke from staircases the THZ N4 and THZ Comfort can also be used for smaller smoke and heat extraction systems such as a foyer and are suitable for use on new buildings and retrofitting . In large event venues with smoke extraction installed in the roof or with a machine smoke extraction system the THZ N4 is particularly suited for operating fresh air drives such as GEZE ’ s RWA K 600 .
