Readily available in a wide range of sizes and lengths, including finger jointed lengths up to 12 metres, it is an extremely versatile lumber for residential, commercial, industrial and agricultural buildings. SPF is a particular favorite with house builders, who appreciate its high structural performance as well as its pine appearance.
Uses
SPF is a distinctly white wood, with very little color variation between spring-wood and summer wood. The wood has a bright, clean appearance, ranging in color from white to pale yellow, with a pine straight grain and smooth texture. SPF has a high strength to weight ratio and is well known for its outstanding working properties. It takes and holds nails exceptionally well and is easily worked with hand power tools. It has good gluing, painting and staining properties.
