C24 Treated 75×225 6.6m

In the UK, the most commonly used grades are C16, C24, and C25. C16 represents the standard entry level grade suitable for many applications, while C24 and C25 offer enhanced strength and durability, ideal for more demanding projects. The grading process is performed using mechanical stress testing equipment, which ensures the timber can withstand specified loads and stresses. Once graded, the timber is stamped with a clear marking to indicate its grade, providing assurance of its quality and suitability for your project.

Pressure Treatment for Enhanced Longevity To further enhance durability, our timber undergoes a pressure treatment process. This involves forcing high-quality preservatives deep into the timber under pressure. This process offers superior protection against common threats such as wood-ingesting insects (like termites) and fungal decay, which can lead to wood rot. Pressure treatment is widely regarded as the most effective method for extending the lifespan of timber, especially in challenging environments.

Kiln Dried and Regularized for Stability Our 75 x 225 ( 9 x 3) treated timbers are kiln dried to reduce its moisture content, ensuring greater dimensional stability and minimizing the risk of warping, shrinking, or splitting. Additionally, it is machined and regularized to create smooth surfaces and consistent dimensions, making it easier to handle, cut, and install while providing a polished finish.
