Tree species in our production

Holmen produces wood products from pine and spruce. Spruce wood products are used in load-bearing structures such as roof trusses and floor systems. Pine is used in interiors, e.g. for furniture, windows, doors, flooring, decking and fencing.

What is the difference between these tree species?

Both spruce and pine are coniferous trees. Their wood is known as softwood. Wood from different tree species has different densities depending on variations in the moisture content. The density of wood from the same tree species can also vary, depending on whether the tree has grown quickly or slowly. 

Spruce wood products

Spruce is the type of wood primarily used as construction timber. Its strength makes it the right choice for load-bearing structures and external walls. 

THE BENEFITS OF SPRUCE

Pine wood products

Pine is ideal for wood products with aesthetic quality requirements such as furniture, flooring and decking. Pine is also well suited to products with particularly high strength requirements.    

THE BENEFITS OF PINE

Build smarter and cheaper with wood
