9×2 Treated Timber 3.6m Applications
Carcassing timber, a kiln-dried softwood with structural grading and treatment, is commonly used in construction projects that require a specific grading stamp. It finds versatile applications both indoors and outdoors, predominantly in floor joists, roof joists, and timber framing construction.
Irrespective of the intended use, cutting treated timber to the desired size for your project is relatively simple. However, it is important to exercise caution and employ appropriate power tools, wear eye protection, and use a respirator.
Carcassing timber is typically employed in the following building applications:
- Stud walls
- Joists for roofs, floors, and decking
- Structural and general joinery applications
- Timber framing construction
Please be aware that the finished size of our carcassing timber may slightly differ from the nominal dimensions. The received timber is expected to have a thickness 2mm less and a width 5mm less than the nominal measurements provided. The color and finish displayed are only representative and may vary slightly due to the natural characteristics of the product.
9×2 Treated Timber 3.6m Specifications
Pressure-treated timber, also known as tanalised timber due to the infusion of the Tanalith E wood preservative, offers numerous benefits. It exhibits resistance to moisture, ensuring that weather conditions, even in the UK, do not compromise its structural integrity.
Let’s review the specifications:
- Graded to the superior C24 standard, providing excellent tensile strength.
- Regularised with an eased edge.
- Pressure treated with Tanalith ‘E’ to prevent rot and safeguard against direct moisture contact.
- Kiln dried to enhance stability and straightness.
- FSC Certified, ensuring responsible sourcing.
- High density.
- Cost-effective with a competitive price and quality assurance.
What Does C24 Carcassing Timber Mean?
C24 grade surpasses C16 grade in terms of strength and contains more knots compared to lower graded timbers. This makes it ideal for applications that require durability and robustness, such as floor joists or roof battens.
C24 timber is a premium choice capable of supporting heavier loads and spanning wider areas. Achieving a C24 grade necessitates importing timber from regions with slower growth rates, resulting in a denser grain due to weather conditions.
At Trade Timber, all the timber we offer undergoes treatment with preservatives, kiln drying, and planing on all four sides to provide an eased edge profile, facilitating easy handling.
Timber Sizing Explained
Timber sizes are commonly referred to as nominal or finished dimensions. Despite having a nominal size of 47mm x 225mm, the actual finished dimensions are 45mm x 220mm.
Please bear in mind that the finished size of our carcassing timber may slightly deviate from the nominal dimensions. You can expect to receive timber with a thickness 2mm less and a width 5mm less than the provided nominal measurements. Additionally, please note that the color and finish shown are representative only and may exhibit slight variations due to the inherent nature of the product.
