10×2 Treated Timber 4.8m Applications

Carcassing timber, a kiln-dried treated softwood with structural grading, finds extensive use in construction projects where a grading stamp is necessary. It offers versatility for both interior and exterior applications, predominantly utilised in floor joists, roof joists, and timber framing construction.

Regardless of the application, cutting treated timber to the required size for your project is relatively straightforward. However, it is crucial to exercise caution and use appropriate power tools, eye protection, and a respirator.

Carcassing timber is commonly employed in the following building applications:

• Stud walls
• Joists for roofs, floors, and decking
• Structural and general joinery applications
• Timber framing construction

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 tasks that require durability and sturdiness, particularly in structural applications like floor joists or roof battens.

C24 timber represents a premium choice capable of supporting heavier loads and spanning wider areas. It achieves the C24 grade by sourcing high-quality timber from regions where slower growth rates, resulting in a tighter grain, are influenced by weather conditions.

At Trade Timber, all the timber we sell undergoes treatment with preservatives, kiln drying, and planing on all four sides, providing an easi edge profile for easy handling.
