Firmness of Siberian larch is practically the same as the firmness of oak, and its resistance to biological effects is significantly higher in comparison with other sort of conifers.

Specialists believe that the optimal combining of hardness, moisture resistance and beauty make Siberian larch a leader amongst cutting timber. Since this timber is rot-resistant products made from it last for hundreds years. It is time proven.

From this timber the piles for Trojan bridge on the Danube were made. These piles were solidified during 1800 years. In the same way the piles used in construction of Venice have become more solid.

As researches have shown this happens because of resin composition, which makes timber more moisture resistant and long-term presence of water makes larch wood even harder. Timber made from Siberian wood is widely used in shipping industry, construction and joinery. These elements for building construction, parquet boards, windows frame, railway sleepers and poles for electricity transmission.

The fact is that cutting Siberian larch timber does not become crooked and does not crack when temperature is changed. Also Siberian larch is wonderful material for terrace boards, parquet flooring, parquet board from solid wood and floor wedges. Its natural reddish hue does not require additional painting and under a layer of lacquer and oil it gets a golden hue which with time becomes even juicier.
