Frequently Asked Questions

What does the term "timber" mean?

In the UK, timber refers to wood that has been felled and processed into usable forms for construction and DIY projects. Whether it’s sawn, planed, or treated, "timber" is the industry term for the structural boards, joists, and battens used to build everything from stud walls to garden decking.

What is the difference between timber and wood?

While often used interchangeably, "wood" is the raw organic material that makes up a tree. "Timber" is that same material once it has been prepared for a specific purpose. You might say a tree is made of wood, but the C16 or C24 graded boards you buy for your project are referred to as timber.

What is the difference between C16 and C24 timber?

C24 is a higher-grade timber than C16. It is stronger, has fewer knots, and is better suited for high-load structural applications like floor joists or roof rafters.

What does "treated" timber mean?

Treated timber has been pressure-infused with preservatives to protect it against rot, fungal decay, and insect attack, making it ideal for outdoor use or damp environments.

What is CLS timber?

CLS (Canadian Lumber Standard) timber is typically used for internal stud walls and framing. It is planed on all four sides with eased (rounded) edges, making it easy to handle and precise to work with.
