What is C24 structural timber?
C24 grade structural timber is high strength spruce.
C24 structural wood is solid wood. It is not micro-joined, so the length of a single section reaches a maximum of 6m.
At the production stage, it undergoes a number of technological processes:
- drying in special chambers according to PN-EN338standard
- four-sided planing
- bevelling of the edges
- quality control
After all, you will get a smooth, planed and beveled product.
The moisture content of structural timber is 15% to 18%.
What does class C24 mean?
A C24-grade wooden member must withstand a bending force of 24 MPa per mm2.
One square centimeter can withstand a load of almost 250 kilograms.
Only 15% of the processed lumber meets the requirements for this class. The remaining 85% of the wood will overwork under heavy loads.
This means that C24 grade structural timber is selected.
The wood is CE certified after rigorous quality control.
What is CE certification?
Structural timber is certified at the production stage at the sawmill.
The certification process is strictly described by the relevant standards.
The right to grant the certificate is given to sawmills that meet the relevant technical requirements.
Two forms of marking wood with the CE mark are most commonly used
- CE stamp on each component
- A collective declaration of conformity is issued for a set of elements.
CE symbol (certificate) means that:
- the wood was properly prepared at the production stage
- meets the standards for class C24
- passed quality control
What do we use it for?
C24 structural timber is a high-quality wood product.
Suitable for:
- roof structure
- wall construction;
- frame construction
- installation of a mezzanine
- terrace leggings
- construction of shelters and canopies
By using C24 kiln-dried wood instead of wet lumber:
- avoid problems with brewing, mold or fungus
- Structures made of C24 dried wood are lighter than those made of wet wood
- the structure has better strength parameters
it is possible to use smaller cross sections, which facilitates work and reduces costs
