larch
Siberian Larch is a rare type of wood: it will retain its qualities without any chemical processing or finishing for centuries. It is one of the most durable types of wood in terms of weather conditions, primarily due to its unique gum content.
The gum is distributed very evenly between the fibres of the wood, which has an antiseptic effect, protecting it against moisture and insects. Larch is more weather-proof than the majority of local wood types. Over time its resilience and density will only grow. Thanks to its high gum content, Larch can be used in its natural form. That is why it makes a perfect alternative to impregnated wood for outdoor use.
Larch is also one of the best solutions when there are strict requirements regarding formaldehydes, as in products designed for children, for example wooden playground equipment.
Larch is a highly ecological, people-friendly and warm building material. It is widely used in Europe in the construction of terraces and as a covering material for the facades of buildings. It is virtually irreplaceable in situations where chemical finishing of wood is not permitted but its durability in all weather conditions must be guaranteed.
Our Larch products are available in dried form with a moisture content of 20 ± 2% in thicknesses of 25, 32, 38 and 50 mm and widths of 100, 125, 150, 175 and 200 mm.
