Lumber & Building Material

SPF Lumber refers to a group of four species of lumbers commonly known as, white spruce (Picea glauca), engelmann spruce (Pice aengelmannii), lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta), and alpine fir (Abies lasiocarpa). All these species yield high grade of lumber with relatively small, sound tight knots. Lumber produced from spruce-pine-fir Species is known and marketed together as SPF in trade parlance.


Spruce-Pine-Fir (SPF) group of Lumber is grown in Western Canadian provinces. It is ideal for residential and commercial construction. Compared to other species of Softwood framing lumber, SPF is straighter, more stable, lighter in weight and easier to cut and nail. These attributes have made SPF the dominant species of framing lumber in the world. All SPF Lumbers entering the stream of trade are kiln dried to a moisture content of 19% or less.


The value added variants of SPF is known as Engineered Lumber. In common parlance, the variants of Engineered Lumber are designated as follows:

• Long Length Finger Jointed (LL-FJ) SPF
• MSR (Machine Stress Rated) Lumber
• Long Length Finger Jointed MSR (FJ-MSR)
• Treated SYP Lumber

As you dig through the pages on this site, you will discover these variants, its feature, benefits and areas of applications.
