Terrace Siberian larch 1st quality
Siberian larch, 1st quality
This is the material we prefer to work with the most! The forests in Siberia are mostly dense. There is therefore very little space between the trunks, and only a small amount of sunlight reaches each individual tree. The trees therefore grow slowly and mainly in height so they can absorb sunlight. Because they grow slowly, growth rings form in the trunk, which are very close together. Thus, the vast majority of native Siberian larch has more than 10 growth rings per 1 cm of cross-cut surface.
Plantation-grown Siberian larch contains approximately 3 to 5. Density is a very
important factor for durability. The denser the wood, the more durable it is. A board that contains more than 8 growth rings per 1 cm of cross-cut surface is classified as resonance wood. Resonance wood "behaves" very uniformly. With increased moisture, it expands evenly, and with increased sunlight, it shrinks evenly. This greatly reduces the possibility of cracks and warping in the wood. Because the only source of sunlight in Siberian forests is from above, the branches also grow higher to absorb it more easily. A large part of the trunk therefore remains bare, and such material contains almost no knots or resin, which likewise spoil the appearance and functionality of the final product. In the heartwood, stresses accumulate after felling due to changes in moisture, and there the wood in most cases cracks. The heartwood, or pith, is therefore sawn out before further processing of the material. Nevertheless, a knot may still remain in the end. Those that could fall out in the future are drilled out with a drill, and an artificial knot is fixed in that place so it does not fall out. In the end, the entire surface is planed and sanded twice, so that the final appearance is flawless. For additional shine, the boards are also oiled before installation at the customer's request.
Note: the density of the wood depends on the supplied raw material, so we cannot influence this factor. However, approximately 80% of the delivered wood is usually resonance wood.
