Carcassing timber

Carcassing timber is structural wood used in frameworks, floors, roofing, and internal partitions. Traditionally sawn from slower-growing trees, modern carcassing timber is kiln-dried, planed, and strength-graded for reliable performance. Builders typically choose between C16 and C24 grades, depending on the load-bearing demands and project specifications. Available in a range of sizes, carcassing timber provides flexibility for a variety of construction needs, from stud walls to joists and rafters.

Carcassing timber is also supplied with treated or untreated options, depending on whether it will be exposed to moisture. Pressure-treated sections are common for outdoor or damp environments. When selecting materials, you can check the strength class, treatment type, and available sizes to match your project requirements.
