Description
UK/ homegrown larch timber cladding.
Features and benefits:
Indigenous species which grow in various parts of Britain giving an improved carbon footprint to local projects and developments.
Compared to Siberian Larch, British-grown Larch is typically warmer in appearance having a rich heartwood colour, it has a greater number of knots and perhaps more grain character.
Moderately durable locally grown timbers, significantly higher knot content than their imported counterparts due to growth rates in warmer climate, with a lower carbon footprint.
Knots are brown and can be scattered and frequent, and they may loosen and weep resin for 12–18 months.
Faster grown than imported species, large and frequent knots along the length.
It will colour down to a silver/ grey if it is not protected as soon as installation is complete with a good quality semi or fully translucent UV-radiation protective coating.
It is a very strong and hard-wearing wood.
