3.0Mtr X 47 X 75mm Treated Regularised KD Carcassing Timber
Typical structural applications
This timber is commonly used in structural timberwork where strength and reliability are required. The C24 grade and pressure treatment make it suitable for both traditional and modern construction methods.
- Floor joists and floor frames
- Roof battens and roof structures
- Stud walls and partition framing
- Decking frames and outdoor structures
- General structural carcassing work
Indoor construction
For interior applications such as floor joists and stud walls, the treated timber provides long-term stability and resistance to decay. The regularised finish allows for clean, professional installation and a neat appearance.
- Floor joists in residential and commercial buildings
- Stud walls for partition framing
- Roof battens and structural supports
- Smooth planed finish suitable for visible applications
Outdoor and damp environments
The pressure treatment makes this timber suitable for outdoor applications and areas subject to moisture exposure. It resists rot and decay better than untreated softwood, extending the service life of outdoor structures.
- Decking frames and outdoor structures
- Applications in damp or exposed locations
- Long-term durability in challenging environments
Installation and handling
The regularised finish and consistent dimensions make this timber straightforward to install. Standard fixings such as nails, screws, and bolts can be used. Ensure proper ventilation around the timber to allow any residual moisture to dissipate, particularly in enclosed spaces.
- Use standard fixings: nails, screws, or bolts as appropriate
- Ensure adequate ventilation to manage moisture
- Handle with care as treated timber is denser than untreated softwood
- Follow building regulations and structural design specifications for your application
