As a very durable and resistant hardwood, Siberian larch can be used in a variety of indoor and outdoor applications!
It impresses with its natural surface in light, yellow to orange-coloured brown tones, its attractive grain and excellent wood properties.
Thanks to its resistant, hard wood surface and good dimensional stability, Siberian larch is suitable for facades, garden fences, interior wall panelling, furniture, flooring and more.
Thanks to its good price-performance ratio, it is also one of the top sellers in our product range!
Siberian larch wood has a hard surface and is therefore very weather-resistant, durable and stable.
These properties make it the ideal building and construction timber for various applications. From furniture construction, wall and ceiling structures and interior wood panelling to fences and exterior cladding.
In addition to its special quality and versatility, Siberian larch also scores points with its natural colouring in light, yellow to orange brown tones and the beautiful, finely curved wood grain!
Under the influence of rain, wind and weather, the reddish-brown larch wood greys over time and its patina takes on a beautiful silver colour.
This transformation takes place very slowly and holistically and creates a beautiful, natural look, designed by nature.
Tip: The untreated larch wood can also be combined well with carbonised or refined woods!
The Siberian larch (Latin: Larix sibirica, English: Siberian Larch) comes from the larch genus, which in turn belongs to the pine family.
As the name suggests, it is mainly local to Siberia, more specifically Russia and Mongolia. There it grows in western Siberia, in the mountains of southern Siberia and in the central plateau of northern Mongolia.
Due to its good technical properties and resilience, the Siberian larch is considered one of the most important forest trees in many parts of Siberia.
The Siberian larch grows straight upwards, can reach a height of around 45 metres and is rather slender with a trunk diameter that is usually well under two metres.
It is a particularly frost-hardy conifer, which is why it survives the cold winters in Siberia well. Despite the cold, it grows relatively quickly, which makes it a popular and much-used tree in the timber industry.
As a coniferous tree, the Siberian larch sheds its needles in winter, which means it requires less water and is more resistant to low temperatures.
Its cones tend to be reddish in colour, while mature cones turn light brown.
The heartwood of the Siberian larch differs in colour from the lighter sapwood due to its higher density and reddish-brown colouring. The annual rings in the wood are easily recognisable and provide an interesting wood grain.
The natural durability of Siberian larch against wood-destroying fungi is categorised as category 3-4 on average. Depending on the growing region and climatic conditions, untreated Siberian larch can even achieve a natural durability of class 3!
Using our traditional, vertical deep-charring process, our woods are carbonised with pure flame according to the Japanese Yakisugi method, resulting in extremely resistant, durable wood products with a unique, black charred surface structure which, thanks to its exclusive character, is also compared to alligator skin, silk wood or leather.
If you opt for the refined style, the already carbonised wood is then carefully brushed by hand and refined using a special process so that the grain and structure are revealed under the layer of carbon. Depending on the processing and type of wood, our wood finishing creates an exclusive colour look: from elegant silver-grey to an ingenious reclaimed wood look in rustic brown tones.
