Timber products we provide

Graded Caressing Timber – Produced from sustainable softwood, we can offer; C16, C24, CLS, Scant and roofing battens.

In the context of building regulations in the UK, C16 and C24 are classifications related to the strength and quality of timber used in construction. These classifications are based on the grading and characteristics of the timber, specifically its strength and stiffness.

C16 Timber: C16 graded timber is a softwood commonly used in construction. It’s suitable for various structural purposes, such as internal framing, joists, and non-permanent structures. This grade of timber meets certain strength requirements, making it appropriate for standard structural use in residential and light commercial buildings.

C24 Timber: C24 graded timber is stronger and more durable compared to C16. It possesses greater load-bearing capabilities and is often used in more demanding structural applications, including larger commercial or industrial constructions. C24 timber is commonly chosen for applications requiring higher strength, such as in beams, trusses, and other load-bearing elements.

For compliance with building regulations, the choice between C16 and C24 timber often depends on the specific structural requirements outlined in the building plans or regulations. Regulations might specify which grade of timber is suitable for different structural elements within a building to ensure safety and compliance with standards.

Builders, architects, and engineers need to select timber grades according to the structural demands of the project and in adherence to the regulations stipulated by local building codes or standards, which often recommend or mandate specific grades for different structural elements.

Always consult and adhere to the current building regulations and standards in your specific location to ensure compliance when choosing between C16 and C24 timber for construction purposes.

Roofing Battens – Roofing battens are crucial components in roofing structures, providing support and a fixing point for roof coverings like tiles or slates. Graded roofing battens undergo careful assessment and classification based on their strength, quality, and durability. These grading standards, such as BS 5534 in the UK, ensure that battens meet specific requirements for use in different roofing applications. Graded battens offer reliability and structural integrity, providing peace of mind to builders and homeowners alike, as they contribute significantly to the stability and longevity of the entire roof system.
