Facts about SPF lumber
SPF is made of three words: spruce, pine, and fir. SPF refers to dimensional lumber or engineered ones derived from coniferous forests. Most lumbers come from Canada but also come from the northern United States.
Western SPF lumber originates from lodgepole pine, Engelmann spruce, White spruce, and Alpine fir trees, which are available in large sizes due to the general climate and the size of logs. Easter SPF lumber originates from red spruce, White spruce, Black spruce, Jack pine, and Balsam fir trees, which grow slower and generates wood with excellent strength properties.
Properties
SPF wood has a high strength-to-weight ratio with small sound tight knots. It also features superior gluing and dimensional stability properties. Not only it holds paint, but it also nails and meets building code requirements for strength, sound transmission, and fire safety.
Use
It is used for single and multi-family construction, furniture framing, crating and packaging commercial construction, etc. Due to its competitive pricing and strength-to-weight ratio, it is most often sued for wood framing in commercial buildings, houses, apartments, furniture, and trusses.
