HIGH QUALITY CARCASSING AND STRUCTURAL TIMBER FOR YOUR BUILDING PROJECT
If you are planning a building project, it is likely that carcassing and structural timber will play an integral part. You can order what you need from William Kirkwood & Sons in Castlewellan, County Down.
Structural Timber or carcassing refers to timbers processed for use in structural applications. Timber is designated as carcassing due to its strength and durability making it perfect for a variety of first fix structural components within a building.
Strength grading is therefore important in carcassing timber ensuring that builders use materials that will support the weight of the structure.
If you are looking to buy carcassing and structural timber for a forthcoming agricultural, commercial, or residential project, then here at William Kirkwood & Sons in Castlewellan, Country Down, we’ve got everything you need. We offer swift delivery anywhere across Northern and Southern Ireland, or you can collect what you need from our timber yard.
C24 GRADED CARCASSING
Structural-graded carcassing timber will be identified with a stamp. C16 and C24 are popular softwood strength grades, the higher the number the stronger the timber. William Kirkwood & Sons import C24 graded carcassing from Sweden, Finland, and the Baltic States. This is high quality timber from well managed forests which conform to the highest environmental standards.
Imported carcassing is predominantly produced from whitewood grown in colder climates which results in slow grown timber of a higher quality.
