Description

The timber of the North grows slowly under very demanding conditions, which makes it an excellent raw material for building purposes. The Redwood product family, manufactured from solid, densely-grained pine and spruce timbers, contains a wide range of different glued timber products for construction. The product comprises two or more pieces glued together either vertically or horizontally in accordance with the customer’s demands.
