Angarsk pine: description and difference from the usual

For some 3 years Angarsk pine has become a solid brand that is highly valued and for many is an object of desire. Consider how this tree has earned such honor and respect, as well as what its characteristics are. In addition, it is interesting to know how the Angara pine differs from other pines.

Angarsk pine is an amazing tree that has no equal among similar species. This evergreen tree grows only in one place on the planet - the Krasnoyarsk Territory, the Irkutsk Region, the Angara River basin. By the way, the river originates in the deepest and one of the cleanest lakes on the planet - Baikal.

This area is characterized by a special - rather severe - climate. It plays a primary role in shaping the qualities and characteristics of Angara wood. The Angara basin is characterized by long winters with low temperatures and short summers. There is little sun all year round, from which there is already little heat. These conditions favor the compaction of the wood due to the slow growth of the tree.

The annual rings are at a maximum distance of 2 mm. For other varieties of pines, the indicator is 2-3 times higher.

Angarsk pine is cut down with the onset of winter. At this time, the sap flow stops and the moisture content of the wood is at a minimum level. Pine from the Angara River basin does not dry out or crack during harvesting, processing, transportation and storage.

High performance characteristics and unique features have led to the formation of a high relevance and demand for this type of wood. Angara pine has found application in various fields:

• construction of residential buildings and various kinds of structures that are durable, warm and beautiful;

• interior decoration of premises using building materials from Angara pine allows you to transform the interior, adding elements of luxury and nobility;

• decoration of cottages, houses and outbuildings;

• construction of fences and other fences, which are characterized by durability and high resistance to external factors.

It may at first glance be difficult to find differences between Angarsk and ordinary pine. In fact, these types of wood differ in a number of factors that we have to study.

1. In terms of external characteristics, these species of valuable wood differ significantly. For example, the Angara pine is characterized by an average height of up to 50 meters (specimens with a height of about 90 meters are found) and a girth of about 2 meters. A common coniferous tree cannot boast of such impressive appearance.

2. Pine from the Angara River basin is characterized by the presence of a small number of knots in the lower part or their complete absence. This part of the trees is selected for the manufacture of high-class building materials.

3. Angarsk pine in the section has a pleasant golden-yellow hue with light pinkish notes. This wood color is its hallmark. Angarsk pine exudes a unique aroma in which balsamic shades can be traced.Such characteristics are not typical for ordinary pine.

4. The density of Angara pine is about 20% higher than that of conventional conifers. This characteristic is very important for any wood, because it determines its performance characteristics. Products and building materials made of high-density rock are more durable, resistant to destructive factors and therefore more durable.

5. The high environmental friendliness of the Angara pine is due to the terrain in which it grows. Around the basin of the Angara River there is endless taiga, there are no large industrial and production facilities. The use of building materials from Angarsk wood will create a favorable microclimate in the room.

6. Angarsk pine is characterized by high resistance to darkening and the formation of biological pollution. The presence of a large amount of resin and phytoncides, high density - all this creates a reliable barrier that protects wood from the harmful effects of mold and fungal microorganisms.

7. The natural color does not lose its saturation even with prolonged exposure to ultraviolet rays. No other pine species can boast such features.

8. Low thermal conductivity reduces heat loss in a room with a hangar pine finish. The user saves on the insulation of the room and its further heating.

9. Simple processing and plasticity of the material makes it convenient to work with.

10. Physical and operational characteristics are maintained even with high humidity and temperature fluctuations.

It is difficult to disagree with how high the importance of such a tree for the national economy of the country.
