MTE’s Softwood Species:
Softwood vs Hardwood
The difference between softwoods and hardwoods comes from the type of tree, grain structure and overall density. Hardwoods typically come from deciduous trees, which lose their leaves each year. Softwoods usually come from conifer trees, such as pine and hemlock, which often keep their needles year-round.
Softwood lumber is typically easier to cut, mill and work with, making it a practical option for construction, manufacturing and other commercial uses. Hardwood lumber is often denser, more durable and used in applications where appearance or surface hardness is especially important. Both options can serve valuable roles depending on the project, product specifications and end use.
Softwood Lumber Properties
Pine and hemlock lumber are versatile softwood species used in construction, manufacturing, carving and specialty wood products. Their workability makes them a cost-effective option for many building and production needs. For exposed applications, softwood lumber is often treated to help resist moisture, rot and weather-related wear.
