Features & Benefits
Siberian Larch is a beautiful yellow/golden colour with little to no knots making it a perfect product for contemporary projects. Available in multiple profiles and finger-jointed lengths up to 12m
Durable
Naturaly durable timber species because of tannins in the wood which creates a high resistance to decay and rot and its high density
Appearance
Clean golden yellow/straw colour with a strong grain pattern. Depending on the grade (ie A/B), the boards may include some, or many, dark black knots. We grade all our timber with the CE mark
Movement
A ‘lively’ species, as with all larch, it is prone to distort. Throughout the year, a 145mm wide profile can vary +/- 5mm. Therefore we advise against a TG&V profile, why not have a look at our WB12 profile below
Available grades
We offer Siberian Larch the highest grades in the industry, Grade A and Grade B (or ‘Unsorted’). Grade A allows for occasional small knots however many boards will be clear of defects. Grade B allows for frequent and larger knots.
Available Profiles
The most popular profile is the WB12 as it allows for a hidden fixing. its an all round stable profile compared to a TG&V because it has a large Tongue and Groove

TESTIMONIALS
Thank you – The help you gave us was truly amazing – you said yes to what seemed an impossible request in a heartbeat and what a difference it made – The house looked beautiful and we’re all so proud of what everyone achieved – the family were utterly overwhelmed by the sheer force of goodwill that everyone showed them
Fraser we are really happy with the finish and look. Actually the Abodo cladding is main thing people remark and compliment about the house, we’ve certainly been spreading the word about you guys and the Abodo cladding.
Just a short note of thanks, I received my order yesterday as planned. Derek was very helpful and cheery, as has everyone I spoke to in the company.
A pleasure to work with you and 5 star service.
It was an easy choice to move to using Glenalmond Timber’s floor joist system. It gives an improved specification for many aspects of the build, including acoustics, ease of installation, lack of bounce in the floor as well of course as cost effectiveness. A great all-round product, it’s a lot more than just a joist and the level of service from Fraser has been a joy. Whenever you deal with people such as that, the business process becomes a pleasure
The larch cladding we got from you is outstanding. We absolutely love the smooth riven effect. Thanks again for supplying the cladding
Thanks for the impromptu tour on Friday. I was very impressed with your set-up there, great to see yours and Martin’s enthusiasm for the business and getting quality products out into the market so we can build with quality materials
I just wanted to say a big thank you to you and your team for my order. We received it this morning and I am very impressed with the quality of the cladding and also how well it was all packaged. I would certainly recommend you to anyone who may be looking for cladding in the future.
