The first choice for terraces and facades
The demand for Siberian larch is constantly increasing compared to European larch. The many advantages of this type of wood are also convincing for outdoor use. We recommend the choice of Siberian larch to everyone who is planning terraces or looking for formwork panels.
Floor coverings - hardness
Siberian larch stands out with its rustic appearance. Wood is particularly suitable for the rustic style of a country house, which can also be combined with a wooden terrace. Siberian larch is particularly heavy and hard, which is why it is classified in resistance classes 2 to 3. Due to the hardness of the wood, larch can be exposed to the weather for eight to twelve years without needing to be sealed. However, such a seal is still recommended. As is typical of softwood, Siberian larch can gradually split. This is especially unfavorable on the terrace, as there is a risk of getting a splinter in your foot when walking barefoot. This can be permanently avoided with a seal.
Great advantages of Siberian larch
Whether it's a terrace or a facade - whoever builds with Siberian larch wood can take advantage of the many advantages of this type of wood. One point is low price, the other is durability. Siberian larch is very resistant to weathering, thanks to the resins embedded in the wood. These ensure that the boards and floorboards are water-repellent and mold-resistant. They also have a uniform and homogeneous structure, which is particularly favorable for outdoor use or appearance.
Siberian larch also has high elasticity and load-bearing capacity, particularly attractive appearance and easy maintenance.
The annual rings of Siberian larch are very dense, which is reflected in their high strength.
