Question 1

1. What is C16 timber?

Accepted Answer

C16 timber is a grade of softwood defined by its strength and density. It’s commonly used in structural applications where moderate strength is sufficient, such as wall studs, floor joists, and roof timbers.

Question 2

2. C24 vs C16 timber, how do they compare?

Accepted Answer

C24 timber is stronger, denser, and has fewer defects compared to C16 timber. Builders often choose C24 for higher load-bearing needs, exposed structures, or premium projects. C16 timber is more cost-effective and suitable for general construction where the highest strength rating is not necessary.
