Softwoods or conifers, from the Latin word meaning “cone-bearing,” have needles rather than leaves, they are generally light and easy to work with. 80% of all timber comes from softwood and each species has different timber type with specific qualities.

Softwoods have many applications and are found in a wide range of building components. Softwoods, like fir and spruce, have a uniform texture and a low resistance to decay, which makes them great for furniture, windows and trim. Others, like hemlock, work well in machines and are great for construction. Fir, pine, redwood and cedar are all considered construction-grade materials. These softwoods are abundant, easy to cut and shape and, especially in the cases of redwood and cedar, weather-resistant. This makes Redwood and Western Red Cedar ideal for timber cladding.
