FAQs
Is this timber safe for direct contact with soil?
No, this timber is classified as Use Class 3, which is for above-ground use only. It should not be used in direct contact with the ground.
What does C24 grading mean?
C24 is a strength class that indicates the timber has been tested for high structural capacity and is suitable for demanding load-bearing applications.
Can I use this for indoor framing?
Yes, it is perfectly suitable for indoor structural applications like wall studs and floor joists.
Does the treatment contain hazardous chemicals?
The timber is treated with standard wood preservatives designed to resist fungi and insects. Always wear appropriate PPE like a dust mask and gloves when cutting.
Will this wood shrink after installation?
Because it is kiln-dried, the risk of significant movement, shrinking, or twisting is minimized, though minor settling can occur in extreme temperature shifts.
What tools are recommended for cutting?
Standard carpentry tools such as a circular saw or a hand saw are sufficient for this grade of softwood.
Troubleshooting
Timber showing signs of surface moisture or dampness
Store in a dry, covered environment with proper airflow to allow the wood to reach equilibrium with local humidity levels.
Difficulty driving screws into the timber
Ensure you are using high-quality pilot holes, as C24 graded Scandinavian timber is dense due to the slow growth rings.
