Radiata Pine is a versatile timber that grows in the Galician forest. It is widely used for the full range of structural and decorative purpose. This includes framing, lining, glue-laminated beams, veneer & plywood. When it is appropriately treated, it can be used for many exposed structural and non-structural applications.
The Radiata Pine timber is low in density and fairly soft, often with very wide annual growth rings. The heartwood is light brown to yellow and the sapwood white to pale yellow, but often indistinct. The grain is usually straight, but knots are more common than in Pinaster Pine.
Its open grain structure readily accepts preservative treatment, which can provide protection to hazard level 6 (the highest level). Radiata Pine can be easily processed, dried and treated, and t will take staining and coating. This timber is used in conjunction with a wide range of structural adhesives.
