Lengths Kiln Dried C16/C24 Reg/Tana Sawn Timber 47x100x5400mm

Length of sawn C16 timber that has been regularised and tanalised.

Tanalised timber has been impregnated with a preservative solution (Tanalith E) under high vacuum pressure in an industrial vessel. The treatment process ensures a deep penetration into the timber cells, for a longer-lasting protective result against fungal decay and insect attack than could be achieved by applying a surface coating. Pressure-treated timber is leach resistant, ensuring a long and trouble-free service life in a wide range of conditions. The treated timber initially has a green colouration, this fades to a honey brown over time and eventually a silver grey. No further surface applied product is needed to maintain the integrity of the treatment.

C16 refers to the softwood strength class. A strength class is simply a group of species/strength grade combinations which have similar strength/mechanical properties. There are a number of C strength classes (C14-C50) but C16 and C24 are the two most commonly used.

All of our sawn timber is of Scandinavian or Baltic origin ensuring closer growth rings and hence a higher quality timber. Don't be fooled by homegrown timber being sold at a lower price as this is an inferior product.

Please note that due to regularisation of timber there may be some small variation from the size advertised.
