What is sawn timber used for?

Sawn timber can serve a wide variety of functions. Depending on the intended purpose, different grades (the timber's quality and strength) and sizes can be selected. For example, you might be looking to buy sawn timber to be used for: 

  • Carpentry products where a quality finish is important, such as furniture, ornaments and handcrafts.
  • Windows and doorframes.
  • Frame structures such as studwork, roof trusses, interior panels and roof batten strips.
  • Floors, under floor or tongue and groove boards.
  • Fences, moulds, pallets and boat building.

What sizes of sawn timber do you have for sale?

We have sawn timber for sale in a range of sizes, to help you to find exactly what you need while increasing cost-efficiency and reducing wastage. The tables below display the thicknesses and widths from which you can choose, while the lengths generally range from 2.7m to 5.4m in 300mm increments. The dimensions that you see here are normally the nominal size, prior to finishing via planing or sanding.

How is sawn timber treated before going on sale?

Sawn timber is kiln-dried to make it more stable for shipping and for use. Most sawn timber is kiln-dried to a moisture content of less than 24% but that will vary depending on its intended use. Here's a guide to give you an idea:

  • Framing – less than 24%
  • External cladding – less than 18%
  • Interior lining – less than 16%
  • Flooring – less than 10%
  • If you're looking for wood that has been treated with a preservative to guard against moisture, insect attack and fungal decay, check out our sawn treated timber.

What is the strength of sawn timber?

Modern timber mills sort and grade timber via computer eye or camera. The camera measures the size and frequency of knots and defects to determine the quality grade. Defects could include cracks, warping and distortion. The thickness of the timber's growth rings is also measured to determine speed of growth. In colder climates, timber grows at a slower rate, which makes it stronger than that which matures in warm conditions.

The strength of a piece of timber is denoted by its strength class. The range of these covers: C14, C16, C18, C20, C24, C27, C30, C35, C40, C45 and C50.

At MP Moran, we sell C16 and C24 sawn timber, which serves most construction requirements. C24 is the stronger of the two, and therefore slightly more expensive. All lengths of sawn timber are marked at the end with a CE stamp denoting the strength grade plus the manufacturer's name and the year in which the grade was marked.
