Quebec Lumber Makes a Show of Strength

 

Quebec lumber stamped S-P-F is the wood most widely used in the Canadian construction sector. Small knot size makes for easier processing and reduces loss and waste. Quebec lumber stamped S-P-F features strength values in keeping with North American stress grades. Thus, American and Canadian lumber can be used interchangeably, particularly throughout the United States.

As a specialist in small lumber sizes, Quebec has built its reputation on the exceptional strength of its slow-growing wood species. Thanks to the proximity of Quebec and the eastern United States, shipment times and costs are highly competitive.
