European Whitewood (Spruce) and European Redwood (Pine) are the dominant species, but recent Bark Beetle infestations, geopolitical factors and changing forest management priorities have seen some European sawmill lines temporarily closing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSpruce has traditionally been preferred for use in construction projects due to its visual appeal and smooth finish,\u201d said TDUK chief executive Dave Hopkins.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHowever, market changes are causing us to see a higher proportion of pine imports. It\u2019s important that merchants and contractors understand that Pine has exactly the same strength grading as spruce, and so while it may be slightly different visually, it can be used for C16, C24 and TR26 applications in the same way as spruce without concern. Merchants can be confident that each piece of structural timber will meet the strength class performance stamped on the piece \u2013 whether they are pine or spruce.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have not yet seen any major change in the overall volume of timber being imported to the UK, it is simply the mix of timber species that is changing, and by ensuring they choose the correct strength-graded timber, merchants and builders can remain confident in their timber products.\u201d<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The UK construction supply chain is seeing an increase in imports of European Redwood (Pine) as European sawmills face significant disruptions that are impacting the availability of European Whitewood (Spruce).
