Carcassing - 50mm timbers

Pressure treatment & sizes stocked
All Southern Timber 50mm timbers are pressure treated to a minimum Hazard Class 3 to minimise any deterioration from damp whether their destination is internal building structures or subjected to permanent external exposure. Stock sizes range from 50mm x 50mm up to 50mm x 250mm – larger dimensions are available to order in pack quantities.

Baltic stocks
The main range of 50mm timber is Baltic stock, regularised, kiln dried and graded at the sawmills to BS4978 strength classes C16 and C24. Most of these timbers have a smoother planed finish than traditional sawn carcassing and very often have pencil-round rather than square edges. Large quantities are kept in stock, pricing is competitive and enquiries are welcomed for pack quantities.

Home grown stock
Baltic timber stocks are supplemented with some fuller sized, timbers from the UK and from Canada which are normally supplied as Grade C16. These timbers have a more traditional finish with square edges and sizes normally available include 50mm x 50mm/75mm/100mm/150mm & 200mm

Comprehensive stocks
Large quantities of all 50mm timbers are kept as standard stock in the main yard with back-up stocks kept in the bulk storage area in the bottom yard. Stock turn is very good across most of the 50mm range which allows regular replenishment from the mills.
