Why choose Larch for your wood cladding?

Larch, a characterful species for authentic wood cladding

Larch, or Larix, is a wood species from the forests of the Alps, prized for its robustness and unique aesthetic appeal. Recognizable by its pronounced grain and pinkish hues, it adds a touch of character to architectural projects. Rustic in appearance, it blends perfectly with authentic constructions when left unfinished. However, with a saturator-type finish, it transforms and adapts harmoniously to any environment, offering an elegant and durable solution for wood cladding.

Larch : a dense, robust wood
Thanks to its high density, Larch is a hard, resilient wood, reducing the risk of warping and guaranteeing excellent durability over time. At Sivalbp, we also offer Larch in a thermostabilized version, an innovative treatment that further enhances its dimensional stability. This process makes Larch wood cladding even more resistant to variations in humidity and temperature, making it ideal for exterior constructions and projects requiring greater longevity.
Larch : excellent fire resistance
Fire resistance is one of Larch's most outstanding characteristics, making it ideal for a variety of architectural and structural applications. This exceptional resistance is mainly due to its high density, which reaches around 600 kg/m³. Thanks to this density, Larch offers increased protection against fire, making it the preferred choice for constructions requiring enhanced fire safety.
Larch : a natural, authentic look
With its fine, luminous veining, varying from light blond to reddish, Larch brings a warm, elegant touch to facades. Its natural patina improves with age, giving a unique cachet to exterior facades.

FAQ : Everything you need to know about our wood species

Which wood to choose for a humid climate ?

For humid climates, both red cedar and Thermo Nordic Pine are excellent choices for wood cladding. Red cedar is naturally resistant to moisture and insects, offering exceptional durability with a distinctive look. Thermo Nordic Pine, on the other hand, benefits from a treatment (thermostabilisation) that improves its stability and resistance to moisture, making it highly suitable for damp environments too. Both options ensure that your cladding will last longer and look better, allowing you to choose according to your aesthetic and budgetary preferences.

What is the most durable type of wood for cladding ?

Western Red Cedar is one of the most durable wood species for cladding. It is particularly prized for its natural resistance to weather, insects and fungi, making it an ideal choice for exterior cladding. Its characteristic odour and distinctive appearance also add aesthetic value to building projects.
