Facts about Siberian larch …
Siberian larch — is a Coniferous tree of the Pine family with a smooth, even trunk and conical crown. Reaching a height of up to 50 meters, and in girth – 2.5 meters, the tree is characterized by low knottinessбwhich makes it an indispensable natural material. No wonder among the peoples of Siberia, larch is considered a symbol of power and eternal life: this tree can stand for more than 500 years without signs of aging and withstands even the most severe frosts, while maintaining its appearance and quality.
Siberian larch is common in the Taiga Forests of the western part of Eastern Siberia (mainly in the Krasnoyarsk Territory and the Irkutsk Region). However, it grows not only in the north of Russia, in Siberia, but also within the European territories. There the climate is milder, respectively, the wood is more loose and less resistant to the effects of weather. Therefore, in woodworking, only larch brought from Siberia is used. It is considered to be a particularly valuable building material, characterized by hardness, wear resistance and moisture resistance, as well as durability, resistance to decay and a rich colour scheme, including 12 bright sunny shades.
Comparing Siberian Larch with other valuable species of wood, for example Oak, it is important to note that Larch is not inferior to Oak in strength and at the same time surpasses it in moisture resistance and resistance to decay, since it is practically not subject to destruction by fungi and insects.
A unique property of Siberian Larch can also be called the ability to secrete volatile products – volatile substances that naturally cleanse the air of harmful microbes. These volatile products are an excellent prevention of viral diseases. There is an opinion and believe, that in houses built from Siberian Larch, the likelihood of headaches, neurosis, colds and cardiovascular diseases is significantly reduced.

It is better to buy a Terrace Board with gum. The presence of gum in the breed makes the wood stony when it comes into contact with water. To give the lumber special durability and wear resistance, antiseptic emulsions and special oils are used that will protect the board from swelling and decay.
Compensation grooves are located on the back of the lumber. Thanks to them, larch wood does not deform when temperature and humidity levels change. This allows the material to be used in areas of high humidity and in street design, where its all-weather operation is implied. Such places, first of all, include saunas, pools, moorings, street arbors, garden paths, etc.
