Why choose Thermo Alpine Spruce for your wood cladding?

Alpine spruce: a noble wood with natural charm

Alpine spruce, belonging to the botanical species Picea abies, is a softwood renowned for its high quality and highly prized in construction, interior design and wood cladding. Native to Alpine forests, it captivates with its fine grain, uniform texture and naturally light colour, ranging from soft cream to light blonde.

Its refined appearance, punctuated by small, evenly distributed knots, gives each board a subtle character that is both warm and authentic. This wood creates a bright and soothing atmosphere, ideal for contemporary architectural projects as well as more traditional renovations.

Appreciated for its dimensional stability, ease of use and good response to finishing treatments (wood stain, saturator, paint, etc.), Alpine Spruce is a durable and attractive solution for your exterior cladding, wall panelling, ceilings and even custom-made furniture.

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.
