Volumetric mass of spruce wood is from 0,44 to 0,51 g / cc. Direct high trunk pitch structure, resistant to decay, allow extensive use of it in construction and decoration. Lack of spruce wood – a large number of knots per unit volume, making it difficult to process it. Spruce wood is resistant to cracking and warping. Fir wood has good flexibility, which allows its use for the production of molded products.
Usually fir wood put into second place after the pine trees on the popularity and quality characteristics, but it’s not entirely fair, because of the strength characteristics of spruce pine is practically not inferior, but in some ways even superior to sawn pine. First, the tree is easier to uniform staining due to lower content of resin, it is best kept warm and longer periods of time preserves the natural color. While the pine due to slightly higher density and resinous better suited for load-bearing structures, spruce, more prone to decay, is perfect for interior decoration.
As with any wood of conifers, spruce wood has a nasty ability to spontaneous combustion due to high content of resins. If the processed products from spruce fire composition, this problem will be resolved.
From the spruce wood produces almost complete range of lumber, including timber and brick, board edging, unedged, board sexuality, molded (deck, imitation logs, etc.).
