Larch Timber: Naturally Durable Canadian Larch for Stunning UK Projects

Timbersource is a leading UK supplier of high-quality Canadian Larch (Larix laricina, also known as Tamarack). This exceptionally durable and beautiful softwood is a superb choice for a wide range of exterior applications, particularly cladding and decking. Its natural resistance to rot and decay, combined with its attractive grain and warm colour, makes this wood a popular and sustainable alternative to treated softwoods and more expensive hardwoods.

Key Advantages of Choosing Larch

Canadian Larch offers a compelling set of benefits that distinguish it from other timber options:

• Exceptional Natural Durability: Larch is one of the most naturally durable softwoods available. Its high resin content acts as a natural preservative, providing excellent resistance to rot, decay, and insect attack. Consequently, it’s ideal for outdoor use, even without additional treatment.
• Beautiful Appearance: With its warm, golden-brown colour and distinctive grain pattern, this material adds a touch of natural beauty to any project. It weathers gracefully to a silvery-grey over time, further enhancing its aesthetic appeal. In fact, many architects and designers specifically choose larch for this weathering characteristic.
• Sustainable Choice: Timbersource is committed to responsible forestry. We source our larch from sustainably managed forests, ensuring the long-term health of this valuable resource. Moreover, we can provide FSC or PEFC certification upon request. Therefore, you can be confident that your purchase supports ethical and environmental practices.
• Versatile Applications: While particularly well-suited for cladding and decking, this timber is also an excellent choice for fencing, landscaping, and other exterior joinery projects. Indeed, its versatility makes it a valuable material for many different building needs.
• Cost-Effective: Compared to many hardwoods and even some treated softwoods, it offers a cost-effective solution without compromising on durability or aesthetics.
• Dimensionally Stable: It has relatively low shrinkage, meaning that it is less prone to warping.
