This brings the German sideboard price closer to those of raw wood for solid structural timber (KVH) and laminations for glulam – after months of having been much higher.

In Italy, there has also been a price correction in November. Prices of machined sideboards (17 mm, free border) fell by €15/m³ and are now ranging from €200 to €220/m³. Compared to the highest level reached in April, a 39% decrease was recorded.
