StrUctIral InternatIonal tImber Structural SoftwoodS

1 STRUCTIRALI nternatIonal tImber Structural SoftwoodSour comprehensive stock-holding at strategically located sites, ensures that we are able to keep an unrivalled specification to meet all applications in the construction industry whether they are roof timbers, joists, studwork, formwork, landscaping and packaging. our in-house grading, treatment and machining facilities enable us to deal with the most unusual and exacting requirements. softwood is the source of about 80% of the world s production of tImber , with traditional centres of production being the baltic region (including Scandinavia and russia) north america and the UK. InternatIonal tImber is a market leader in softwood production, distribution and procurement, and we can assure our customers of consistently high quality products, supported with sound environmental 2 main species of tImber used for carcassing production are Spruce and Pine, SPrUce - Sitka Spruce (Picea sitchensis) or norway SPrUce (Picea abies).

2 PIne - Scots Pine (Pinus sylvestris).Spruce Sitka Spruce (Picea sitchensis) is a large coniferous evergreen tree growing up to 80m tall, and with a trunk diameter of up to 5m, exceptionally to 6-7m diameter. It is by far the largest species of spruce; and the fifth largest conifer in the Spruce norway Spruce (Picea abies) is a large coniferous evergreen tree growing to 35-55m tall and with a trunk diameter of up to the tallest measured norway Spruce is 63m tall, in Perucica Virgin Forest, pINeScots Pine (Pinus sylvestris) is a coniferous evergreen tree growing up to 35m in height and 1m trunk diameter when mature, exceptionally grows to 45m tall and trunk diameter the lifespan is normally 150 - 300 years, with the oldest recorded specimens (in Sweden and norway) being just over 700 years.

3 Pinus silvestris is a species of pine native to europe and asia, ranging from Scotland, Ireland and Portugal in the west, east to eastern Siberia, South to the caucasus mountains, and as far north as the arctic circle in tImber offers comprehensive stocks of softwood sections suitable for constructional use, landscaping and packaging. contiuned Park softwood & Panel: 0161 848 2900 CoMPoNENTUSEr CLaSSdomestic pitched roofs, all Structural timber1condensation risk - pitched roofs, all Structural timber2tiling/slating battens & flat roof timbers2 Barge boards, fascia boards3aexternal frame - inner leaf except sole plates2frame sheathing - plywoods2external cladding3 Battens for fixing external cladding2first floor joists1external joinery, surrounds for non-wood windows.

Graded tImber is generally kiln dried (moisture content is reduced to required levels in a kiln), although can also be wet graded (which is moisture content at ambient levels and not kiln dried).

5 It is increasingly being specified as regularised which means that the product has a machined finish, giving a regular consistent section carcassing (often referred to as Home Grown) can only achieve a strength class of c16 due to the faster rate of growth, due to its warmer carcassing can achieve c16 and c24 as it tends to have a slower growth rate for the same size of tImber Unseasoned sawn tImber can vary in size as the tImber is generally cut from the log. It is typically used in fencing and landscaping applications and it will contain differing amounts of moisture as it has not been kiln dried, this will cause more movement but is not particularly a problem due to its end use.

6 This does not require grading and is usually sourced from british tImber is graded by machine, it has to pass certain tests the main one being a test of the deflection of the piece under applied pressure, once it passes this test it is given a grade stamp which identifies the grade, producer, identification number and condition. a similar stamp is used when visual grading takes place. an example of the grade stamp is shown tImber Structural SoFtwoodSUSEr CLaSSUSE1above ground, dry, insect ground, risk of ground, to frequent ground, to frequent contact with ground or fresh exposed to piece of graded tImber must have a stamp similar to the one shown which is visible to enable a user or inspector to assess the quality of the of carcassing tImber is becoming increasingly popular in the construction, landscaping and packaging industry.

Growing trees remove co2 from the atmosphere. thus using wood stimulates the expansion of managed forests, to absorb more of this global warming potential for re-use or recycling at end of its tImber offers full chain of custody certification on SoftwoodS for construction, to give you the confidence to buy fully certified products for manufacture and installation into projects which require sustainable material.
