For the first time, structural grading tools for Spanish beech wood have been developed. Both visual and mechanical grading methods will enable its use in structural products like beams, pillars, and glued laminated timber.

A new LVL product using Spanish beech veneer has been developed, aiming to enhance the beech wood value chain. Tests show improved bending strength and stiffness compared to sawn timber, confirming the material's suitability.

For the first time in Spain, mechanical grading tools for maritime pine wood have been developed, enabling classification into C24 and C18 classes. These tools improve classification speed and accuracy.
