Usage of Spruce Lumber
To All Our Valued Customers, Over the past few years, the Covid 19 Pandemic has forced us to adapt and change the way we do things on a day-to-day basis. Florida Lumber is no exception. To make sure that we remain strong and competitive in the market for the years to come, Florida Lumber has had to adjust and change our vision for the future. In the last 2 years, we have stopped selling Sheetrock and drywall products, roofing felt and roofing materials, and have even closed on Saturdays.
Over the last few months, we have been transitioning our way out of the door supply business so on August 31, 2022, our door shop will stop assembling doors. We will continue liquidating our doors from inventory until we are out of material.
Some customers have asked if we are closing or even moving locations. To set the story straight, we are not closing or selling the business and we are not moving. These changes are all part of our new vision and path to continue serving South Florida and increasing our footprint in the construction supply industry.
Our focus is going to be on Lumber, Construction Materials, Rebar Fabrication and Rebar Accessories. As we have liquidated some of the items that we don’t sell anymore we have created more space to buy a larger volume of our core items and pass on the savings to our customers.
In the next year you will start seeing changes that will help improve our ability to serve you, our customers. We appreciate your business and your patience as Florida Lumber’s new vision becomes reality.
A Todos Nuestros Valiosos Clientes En los ultimos anos, la pandemia de el Virus (Covid 19) nos ha forzado a adaptarnos y cambiar la forma de hacer cosas en el dia a dia. Florida Lumber no ha sido una excepcion.
Para asegurarnos de mantenernos fuertes y competitivos en el mercado en los anos venideros, Florida Lumber ha tenido que ajustar y cambiar nuestra vision para el futuro. En los dos ultimos anos hemos dejado de vender los productos de yeso (sheetrock), paneles de yeso (drywall), tela asfaltica (roofing felt), materiales de techo y cerramos los Sabados. En los ultimos meses, hemos estado en transicion para salir del negocio de suministro de puertas, en Agosto 31, del 2022 nuestra tienda de puertas dejara de construir y/o cortar puertas. Vamos a continuar liquidando nuestro inventario de puertas haste que terminemos todo el material. Algunos de nuestros clientes han preguntado si estamos cerrando o si nos estamos moviendo a otra localidad. La verdad es que no estamos cerrando, no estamos vendiendo y no estamos cambiando de localidad. Estos cambios son todos parte de nuestra nueva vision y camino a continuar sirviendo al estado sur de la Florida y incrementar nuestras huellas en la industria de suministros de construccion.

Spruce is a well-known softwood, widely used and affordably priced. Usage of spruce lumber in the construction industry includes paneling, interior trim, doors and furniture. Spruce is also popular in the use of soundboards. The lightweight design, cost-efficiency and availability in South Florida make it a super choice for specific projects.

Usage of Spruce Lumber
Spruce is suitable for light construction and framing work. The relative durability makes it ideal for siding and many other lumber projects, including:
- Shipping containers
- Musical instruments
- Airplanes
- Boats
- Tools, oars, ladders, handles
Usage and Types of Spruce Wood
There are 35 species of spruce wood available, with differing looks, uses and resistances. The most famous are:
- White spruce wood: The creamy variety is lightweight and pliable, making it suitable for crates, construction lumber and millwork.
- Sitka spruce wood: The bear claw patterned lumber glues and finishes nicely. These spruces are used for crates, boxes, millwork, masts for boats, spars in aircraft, wind turbine blades, musical instruments and sound equipment.
- Black spruce wood: The creamy spruce is slightly resistant to decay and is lightweight. It’s typically inexpensive and used for millwork, paper pulp, construction lumber and crates.
- Red spruce wood: Locally-sourced red spruce is affordable and is used for Christmas trees, musical instruments, construction lumber, crates and making round timber.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Spruce Wood
Spruce wood is affordable, readily available and has a uniform texture, giving it a smooth finish. Spruce is easy to work with and why carpenters prefer using it, saving resources and time. Heartwood spruce trees have a medium rot resistance.
On the other hand, spruce is sapwood, making them less durable and suitable for indoor use. The lumber type is also susceptible to insects and fungi.
Differences Between Spruce and Pine Lumber
In terms of practical application, spruce and pine lumber are interchangeable. The primary difference is that spruce lumber is:
- Less likely to warp or twist
- More uniform
- Better in terms of a weight-strength ratio
