A word on the Larch specie
Larch is the specie that separates Ancestral from most
flooring manufacturers. Larch grows best in damp
conditions and is the only conifer to loose its needles
in the fall. It has a completely distinctive grain and
is noted for its extreme stability and great strength.
Larch is very tolerant of environmental changes and
highly resistant to moisture and insects, allowing
application in many areas that have been “off limits” to
hardwood flooring.
Larch coupled with Ancestral’s radial sawing techniques,
patented kiln drying, grading and pre-oiled finish has
become the standard for installations demanding high
style, practicality and extreme conditions.
Historically, Larch has been used in stable floors, boat
building, bridges and by the railroads. Larch is strong,
hard, and above all, rot-resistant. With
Ancestral’s flooring system we can now use Larch in
kitchens, bathrooms, below grade and over radiant heat!
Because larch offers tremendous dimensional stability,
we can offer large plank with widths up to 7
1/4”.
