A slow-grown softwood from Coastal British Colombia, North West Canada, giving a highly durable timber that will stand the test of time. Perfectly compliments our new range or Euro Larch Cladding

Appearance

Canadian Larch is a consistent Yellow colour to light creamy brown, the specie has a lot of character in the grain. Knots are common but usually small and sound.

Durability & Resistance

A highly durable softwood due to the colder environment it is sourced from giving tighter grain for superior long-term results. The timber is moderately resistant to rot and decay without the need for a treatment or finish to be applied.

Workability & Versatility

Cuts well without impact to blades on hand tools but can gum up blades over a larger volume of cuts with a chop saw. Care is required when sanding as the grain can vary from softer to hard areas. Larch can have a distinct resinous odour when being worked.

Sourcing & Sustainability

A species class as being ‘of least concern’ sourced from well-managed forests and mainly supplied with PEFC certification.

Maintenance Tips

The timber can be installed and left unfinished to silver on exposure to UV (as with all timbers used externally) this will have no impact on the long-term durability of the specie. To maintain the initial appearance a finish will be required this information is to follow soon but likely Osmo 702 will be the perfect partner for this timber.

Fixings

We recommend this profile be securely fixed with 40mm or 50mm Stainless Steel lost head nails, alternatively use Spax stainless Steel facade screws.
