European spruce
The region where European spruce is grown is Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
European spruce trees grow well in this area and are ideally suitable for structural uses with construction timber, Ladenburger laminated wood, glued laminated timber, but also for the production of frames and battens as well as our concrete formwork and tongue-and-groove board.
Nordic spruce
Nordic spruce comes from Scandinavia, predominantly Finland and Sweden.
The growing seasons are shorter here and the climate is harsher. Compared to European spruce, Nordic spruce grows slower, thus giving it a finer structure, with discolouration being less common. We use Nordic spruce in all areas where visual grades and fine structures are required. Due to these good properties, Nordic spruce is enjoying increasing popularity in the facade area.
Taking the structural wood protection into consideration, nothing stands in the way of its use in the facade area. We like to recommend Nordic spruce for vertical facades, preferably with industrial pre-greying or coated with all over paint, depending on customer preferences.
Nordic spruce is ideally suited for layer-forming and non-layer-forming as well as for deep black treatments. With spruce we cover the biggest possible range of treatment options.
