Grading
Our stocks are ‘Unsorted Grade Siberian Larch’ also known as ‘U/S’ grade. This is the highest grade available also referred to as ‘A’ grade. ‘U/S’ grade covers boards graded as I-III with the alternative lower Sawfalling grade being grade I-IV i.e. including fourth grade. In layman’s terms the grade we stock ‘U/S’ is minimal knots and where knots are present they are generally smaller whereas Sawfalling has larger and more frequent knots. As with many species of timber the full grading rules are complex and are dependent on the cross sectional size and length of the board. The size of knots is allowable up to 38mm across the face but where more knots are present the size is limited to a maximum 25mm. Knots will generally be sound with only very occasional knots with holes.

Lengths
Siberian Larch is imported into the UK in limited length options these generally being 3.0metre (9.84ft), 4.0metre (13.12ft) & 5.1metre (16.73ft). The lengths we currently have in stock will be listed for you to select and order online.

Moisture Content
Supplied Kiln Dried generally less than 25%, and the average moisture content is 15-20% we recommend drying the timber before installation, if you are using the Siberian Larch internally then it will need to be acclimatised for a few weeks inside before installation. To dry effectively boards will need to separated and stacked with cross stickers evenly spaced the boards will need warmth and air circulation to dry effectively.

Specie
Siberian Larch is sourced from the Northern Europe and is Native to Western Russia. This specie is classed as a Softwood but has very good durability owing to its slow grown origins. It also has good strength against impact damage due to the compact nature of the grain. Siberian Larch is more prone to movement and twisting in comparison to Western Red Cedar so care must be taken to install correctly
