Cut to Size / Planed British Larch Wood
The sapwood is narrow and white in colour and the heartwood is pale with a pink hue. After drying, the wood assumes a uniform tone, but after long exposure to the weather the colour is lost, and the wood becomes silver-grey. The weathered appearance is sometimes purposely sought by architects, but a further peculiarity is its ability to take and hold stain of the finest without discolouration.
Ordering British Larch Timber
Ordering British Larch timber from Timbersource is a perfect choice for anybody requiring a wood that is cost effective and suitable for cladding. It is non-resinous, straight-grained and has a coarse texture. British Larch is light weight and contains frequent small knots which can cause tearing in planning and moulding.
