Lumber is a broad denominator that includes a wide range of lumber. These are just some of the possible uses: <\/p>\n
\n- Construction timber<\/strong><\/a>, such as lumber for timber frame construction<\/a> or battens, valley planks, rafters and purlins for roof structures.<\/li>\n
- Interior construction<\/strong>, for example, furniture such as cabinets, tables and chairs, finishes such as baseboards and trim, and stairs and railings.<\/li>\n
- Outdoor structures<\/strong>, such as terraces, fences, gates, garden furniture, carports and playground equipment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Stevens Wood specializes in thermally modified wood<\/strong> or ThermoWood<\/a>. This is as durable and sturdy as tropical hardwood, but much more environmentally friendly. <\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.25.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text module_class=”list brown link” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]This lumber also has many uses:<\/p>\n

Types of lumber<\/h2>\n
In Europe, softwoods such as pine, spruce and Douglas fir are mostly used as lumber. That wood comes from Scots pine, Norway spruce and Douglas fir respectively, trees that are abundantly available in Europe. As a result, their wood has an excellent price-to-quality ratio<\/strong>. At Stevens Wood, you’ll find mainly northern European woods from Scandinavia and the Baltic states. Southern trees grow faster, so they have wider annual rings and their wood is less stable. <\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_3″ specialty_columns=”2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_row_inner column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.25.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column_inner type=”1_2″ saved_specialty_column_type=”2_3″ _builder_version=”4.25.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_blurb title=”Spruce” image=”https:\/\/www.stevenshout.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/Thermowood_Vuren_Uitzicht-scaled.jpg” alt=”thermowood spruce view” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” header_level=”h3″ header_font=”|||on|||||” header_text_color=”#76dd84″ header_font_size=”18px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
Spruce<\/a> is derived from the Norway spruce, light in color and easy to work. Spruce lumber is used for such things as canopies, window frames and bookcases. <\/p>\n[\/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_blurb title=”Douglas” image=”https:\/\/www.stevenshout.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/Stevens_Hout_Import.jpg” alt=”stevens wood pile” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” header_level=”h3″ header_font=”|||on|||||” header_text_color=”#76dd84″ header_font_size=”18px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
The wood of European Douglas fir<\/a> is ideally suited for load-bearing structures and cladding, among other things. The finer the growth rings, the easier it is to work lumber douglas. <\/p>\n[\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column_inner][et_pb_column_inner type=”1_2″ saved_specialty_column_type=”2_3″ _builder_version=”4.25.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_blurb title=”Pine” image=”https:\/\/www.stevenshout.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/Thermowood_Grenen-scaled.jpg” alt=”thermowood pine” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” header_level=”h3″ header_font=”|||on|||||” header_text_color=”#76dd84″ header_font_size=”18px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
The popular pine wood<\/a> comes from the Scots pine. The external characteristics and technical specifications differ according to the origin of the wood. Lumber pine can be found everywhere from posts over floors to roofs. <\/p>\n[\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ module_id=”thermowood-hardhout” _builder_version=”4.25.2″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”0px||||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_font_size=”32px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
Gradings for lumber<\/h2>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_class=”list green-brown” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
Lumber for load-bearing applications is graded by strength. Wood species with strength classes C18 or C24, such as spruce C24<\/a>, SLS C18 and SLS C24, are most common. For other lumber applications, appearance<\/strong> is important<\/strong>. One then grades according to the Nordic Timber Grading Rules. The most important parameter for this is the number of healthy and dead knots or knots. These are the places where side branches grew on the wood. This creates seven classifications, which we simplified for the overview below: <\/p>\n\n- Classification I: maximum 1 knot larger than 7 millimeters per side on the worst 1 meter<\/li>\n
- Classification II: maximum 2 knots larger than 7 millimeters per side and 1 per edge on the worst 1 meter<\/li>\n
- Classification III: maximum 3 knots larger than 7 millimeters per side and 1 per edge on the worst 1 meter<\/li>\n
- Classification IV: maximum 4 knots larger than 10 millimeters per side and 2 per edge on the worst 1 meter<\/li>\n
- Classification V: maximum 5 knots larger than 10 millimeters per side and 3 per edge on the worst 1 meter<\/li>\n
- Classification VI: maximum 6 knots larger than 10 millimeters per side and 4 per edge on the worst 1 meter<\/li>\n
- Classification VII: not used for export<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Stevens Hout is one of the few wood importers that sorts<\/strong> Scandinavian wood not only by strength, but also by appearance itself<\/strong>. Thus, you are sure to find the perfectly suited wood for your carpentry needs in our wide range, both technically and aesthetically. <\/p>\n<\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.stevenshout.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/Steico_Bouwmaterialen-scaled.jpg” alt=”Steico building materials” title_text=”Steico_Building Materials” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]
