Sapwood is yellowish white to reddish white, heartwood is reddish brown to dark reddish brown. Siberian larch is one of the most valuable and durable species among coniferous woods. The resin it contains repels water as a natural impregnation and protects the wood from fungal attack. Due to its slow growth in cold regions, Siberian larch is harder than European larch. Larch is particularly sensitive to iron, and to prevent rust spots, only stainless steel fasteners are recommended. Because larch is prone to splitting, all attachment points should be pre-drilled. We recommend using OSMO products on the edges.
Wood density : approx. 650 kg/m3.
Artificially dried to: 16-18%.
Coating and paint
If you decide to treat the Siberian Larch wood on the cladding with a coating to preserve the wood without the typical grey patina that appears on the wood without treatment for approx. 1 year after exposure to the weather, we recommend using OSMO products.
