Knots
The knot stems from a branch. Sound knots do not affect the durability of the wood cladding. Knots that fall out (similar to holes), can have an impact on the durability of the cladding.

Larches are hard, dense and sinewy woods. Conditioned by an exceptional climate, this wood species grows very slowly and is recognized for its durability, up to 50 years. The Larch has very thin veining, slightly luminous and a very homogeneous grain. Silvabp only selects Larches from european forests managed in an eco-responsible way.

This singularity finds its origin in the profiling by the shard of a knot ringed or dead located on the edge. With a maximum authorized diameter of 15mm, the covering with the bottom board is enough to insure the waterproofness of the cladding.
The cross-grained is a singularity revealed during processing, it can be assimilated to the detachment of fibers near the knots.
Surface cracks appear as narrow surface crack oriented along the length of the board. They can appear during drying process or in dry weather. They then, partially close again in wet or rainy periods.
They are frequent and due to the exposure and to the architecture of the building which can favor pull resin up (except for EcoThermo products).
During the natural drying stage of the wood, it is possible to see cracks at the end of the board on the larch cladding. These cracks are tolerated if they are less than 5 cm long.
Sivalbp offers a range of larch wood cladding from pale yellow to pale brown red through orange. Wood being a natural material, heterogeneous colour differences can be found. These fade over time and then the aesthetic is maintained throughout the life of the product.
Both aesthetic and durable, the Larch is used for many projects. Due to its great durability, class 3 European Larch is ideal for making wood cladding and board. See examples of our finished projects.
