Five meadow-covered 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. www.metsawood.com Website: www.enviroshake.com Phone: 519-380-9265 ext 0 Email: [email protected] The Authentic Look of Slate with Lifetime Performance ECO-FRIENDLY • Made from 95% recycled materials • 100% recyclable • Water runoff is potable EASY TO INSTALL • 1/3 the weight of natural Welsh slate • Cuts can be made with a circular saw • Installed with standard fixings • Can be installed on battens or boarding • Does not require roof reinforcement This Product is BBA Approved PREMIUM • Unmatched authentic look of Welsh slate • Thick, sculpted edges • Enhances the overall appearance of your home SUPERIOR COMPOSITE BLEND • Composite material, reinforced with fibres • Best-in-class UV Inhibitor Technology • Tested wind resistance of 180 mph 80
