Scandinavian spruce - the foundation of solid and beautiful homes
In the world of wooden construction, the quality of the material is key to success, particularly in terms of durability, aesthetics, and functionality of the final product. As a leader in the industry, we fully understand the importance of using the best available wood. In the first article of our series on wood quality, we introduce Scandinavian spruce – the material from which we build all our exceptional homes.
Scandinavian spruce – the experts’ choice
For the production of our wooden houses, we use only spruce wood sourced from the northern forests of Scandinavia. The harsh climate of these regions – mainly Sweden, Norway, and Finland – fosters the growth of wood with exceptional properties, making it perfect for building durable and stable structures.
What makes scandinavian spruce stand out?
Low Moisture Content
Spruce wood from the northern forests has a moisture content of 12-14%, which ensures that it neither cracks nor warps over time. This feature is crucial in construction, where structural stability is paramount. Low moisture content minimizes the risk of deformation, which is often a problem with materials that have higher water content. As a result, our houses retain their original shape and functionality for many years.
No Heartwood and Healthy Knots
The wood we use is carefully selected to be free of heartwood, which prevents warping. Additionally, only healthy knots remain in the wood, eliminating the risk of holes forming in the walls after years of use. The wood selection process is rigorous – we exclude any piece that does not meet our strict quality standards. This attention to detail guarantees that our products are not only aesthetically pleasing but also durable.
No Blue Stain
Scandinavian spruce is free from blue stain, which enhances its aesthetic value. Compared to other types of wood, such as pine or fir, spruce from northern forests boasts unrivaled quality, making it the best choice for building wooden homes. Although blue stain does not directly affect the strength of the wood, it diminishes its visual appeal. At Bertsch Holzbau, we believe that homes should be not only functional but also beautiful, which is why we ensure that our wood is free from any imperfections.
C24 Certification – The Guarantee of Strength
The strength of our constructions is one of the most important values we emphasize. This is why we use wood certified to the C24 standard. The C24 certification is one of the most prestigious standards in Europe, confirming that the wood meets the highest strength requirements. Wood marked with this certification is intended for use in load-bearing structures, where stability and safety are absolute priorities.
What exactly is the C24 Certification?
C24 is a wood strength class, indicating that the material meets stringent strength standards and is suitable for structures that must withstand heavy loads. Wood with this certification is characterized not only by excellent stability but also by resistance to mechanical damage and weather conditions. In practice, this means that our houses are ready to face even the most challenging weather conditions while maintaining their functionality and aesthetics for many years.
Thanks to the C24 certification, we can guarantee our clients that every element of the structure is solid and reliable. In addition to strength, C24-certified wood is also characterized by appropriate elasticity, further increasing its resistance to various types of loads.
