Strong and Light-Weight
The hemlock tree's strength-to-weight ratio makes it the prime choice for horizontal components and long spans.
Strong and attractive with a straight uniform grain, Pacific coastal hemlock is free from resin, odorless when dry and has excellent working properties. Its physical and visual attributes make the wood well-suited to remanufacturing applications, and Pacific coastal hemlock is used in a variety of joinery and finishing products, owing it its uniform tone, lustre and hardness.
Hemlock’s ease of machining and finishing, alongside its strength and stability in service, lend it to use in demanding applications, such as staircases, decorative front doors, and furniture. Its easy treatability makes it popular for both treated wood applications and in the case of fire retardant treatment for use in public buildings.
