Common Questions:
Q: What does C16 mean in timber?
A: C16 is a strength grade that confirms the timber meets UK building regulations for structural use. It ensures strength, stability, and suitability for a wide range of building applications.

Q: What are the benefits of Eased Edge timber?
A: Eased Edge timber is planed with eased (rounded) corners, making it safer to handle, less prone to splintering, and providing a neater finish in construction.

Q: Can this timber be used outside?
A: Yes, but it should be pressure-treated or sealed to protect it from weather damage. For outdoor projects, treated timber may be a better option.

Q: Why choose 4.8m length over shorter sizes?
A: The 4.8m length is perfect for larger builds where longer spans are required, helping to minimise the number of joints and improve structural integrity.

Q: Is C16 timber strong enough for joists?
