Siberian Larch into the naturally durable timber cladding market, previously dominated by Western Red Cedar, as a very strong and robust, relatively knot-free and visually consistent species suitable for all types of cladding application. Russwood can supply a selected quality SILA Select® grade of Siberian larch (The GOST sorting grades which are used in Russia and sold by most UK merchants do not meet our standards for natural durability or appearance).
