Specifications
Vertical Grain
Often found in Douglas Fir, Hemlock, and Western Red Cedar, Vertical Grain Softwood is strong and versatile. It is Softwood Lumber cut by the same methods of rift or quarter sawn creating a linear woodgrain appearance on the face of the board. These boards are exceptionally dimensionally stable and lend a beautiful straight grain and uniform colour to any application.
A Grade Veneer:
Grade A is the optimal choice when exceptional appearance is important. Under this grading standard small burls and pin knots are allowed, as well as slight blending mineral streaks. However, all defects in the A Grade must be slight or non-existent. A Grade Veneer often requires Book Matching for optimal visual appearance as this veneer is matched for both grain pattern and colour.
Grading veneer is inherently a subjective and difficult process, as although the standard gives rules for specific numbers of defects, there is always personal or operational bias when it comes to the overall appearance of a particular surface. From one grade to the next, not only does variation in appearance get wider, but the amount of overlap between the low end of one grade and the higher end of the next grade down gets wider as well. Because of the inherent individuality of each tree and species, consideration should be given to the overall appearance of the veneer face to determine the appropriate grade for that veneer.
Sustainability:
We recognize the importance of ethically harvested lumber. As our most valuable resource, sustainably harvested forests increase the rate of carbon sequestration and significantly cut carbon emissions. Wood is a renewable and sustainable material, requiring less energy than alternatives like concrete or steel. From harvesting to recycling, lumber is the most carbon-efficient choice for building materials. Wood is of the few elements that can increase sustainability in a building’s life cycle, reduce waste, and create positive biophilic health benefits. Increasingly, architects and designers are calling for a return to wood as the prominent basic building material.
As an early adopter of FSC®, we recognize the importance of sustainably harvested lumber. FSC® Certified lumber is available upon request. Contact your Sales or Specifications Representative for more information.
