The mountain larch wood for our products comes exclusively from high-lying locations in Austria.
Sawn wood
The mountain larch wood for our sawn timber products is solely drawn from higher altitudes in Austria. It is particularly popular due to its extremely fine fibres caused by extremely slow growth (approx. 350 years) possible in harsh alpine conditions. The narrow year rings and closure of pits in the sap conductors make the mountain larch resistant to decay. This is a quality not even the flatland larch can match.
During the natural growth process of a tree, core materials are stored in the wood. Our employees recognise good heartwood formation, and thus suitability for use with earth contact, by the dark-red colour of the wood.
Round-cut timber
For generations now we have sourced our timber for round-cut products from sustainably cultivated Austrian mountain larch forests. This guarantees timber with extraordinarily fine fibres due to the extremely slow growth permitted by the tough alpine climate and conditions.
Graggaber Mountain Larch is one of the most robust and weather-resistant types of wood around.
Planed timber
Larch wood brings natural character to exterior architecture. Its distinctive grain and warm tones offer a wide range of design possibilities for cladding, decking and other outdoor applications.
With appropriate detailing and professional installation, larch can be used outdoors without chemical impregnation. Left untreated, it gradually develops a natural patina. Maintenance requirements vary according to the application, exposure to weather and chosen surface finish.
Wood fuel and offcuts
The wood fuel and offcuts produced when processing over 50,000 m³ of Austrian mountain larch are sorted according to requirements. Ask us for more details.
