Decking / Scotlarch®
Scotlarch® is the registered trade name for Russwood's selected heartwood of Scottish-grown European Larch, giving you the assurance of a consistently-graded, high-quality product.
Larix Decidua has long been used for decking in North Europe, and is increasingly used for this purpose in the UK, where it supplies naturally-durable decking, which is FSC certified.
It is a strong robust wood, and good quality timber can be relatively knot free although some knots can be 'loose'. It is referred to as a small movement wood.
It is rated as moderately durable and if the sapwood is excluded can be used untreated for decking. If sapwood is not excluded the wood will require treatment. If it is not to be surface coated it will be necessary to treat with ACQ which will colour the wood deep brown.
