Siberian Larch
While becoming more and more popular, products made from Siberian larch are a package combining both design and style, as well as strength, durability and high quality ‒ which is even more important!
Siberian Larch is mostly used outdoors, for instance:
- facades of private and public buildings
- terraces and balconies
- Siberian larch is a very durable and stylish roof material
- gardens and playgrounds
- boat landings and footbridges
- special structures in contact with the ground
- installation of floors
- Siberian larch has even been used for boats and yachts
Due to its density and a high tar and resin content, Siberian larch is very durable outdoors, even without additional treatment. Siberian larch is a strong and dense timber. Average density at a moisture content of 12% is 665 (620–725) kg/m3. The specific gravity for raw timber is 900–1100 kg/m3. Siberian larch is one of the trees with the best weatherproof qualities. This is due to its special resin content.
