European Softwood
Recognised for their versatile and lightweight properties, softwoods are a popular choice for projects such as interior mouldings, construction framing and window manufacture. They are also used in the production of sheet goods like fibreboard and plywood.
Unlike hardwood timber, softwood is sourced from gymnosperm trees such as conifers. Specific species include pine, spruce and cedar. This type of timber is fast-growing, easy to manipulate and less dense in comparison to hardwood. As a result of its lower density, it is common for softwood timber to be infused with biocides to make it more durable, particularly for outdoor projects.
There are a plethora of advantages to using softwood timber. Most notably, softwoods offer greater flexibility and can be used for a variety of purposes. Additionally, their fast grow rate means that they are highly sustainable – this also makes them cheaper to purchase in comparison to hardwood.
