FAQ
What is the typical grade of timber included in this pack?+
The timber typically falls within a Construction Grade (CG10 or CG20), suitable for general building purposes. However, we recommend verifying the specific grade with your supplier to ensure it meets your project requirements.
Can I use these sheets outdoors?+
While possible, untreated timber is not ideal for prolonged outdoor exposure. Consider applying a weather-resistant sealant or using treated softwood for exterior applications to prevent rot and weathering.
What tools are needed to work with these materials?+
You’ll need standard woodworking tools such as a saw (circular or hand), measuring tape, hammer, and possibly a jigsaw depending on the cutting complexity. Safety glasses are essential.
How should I store this pack of timber after use?+
Store the sheets in a dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prevent warping or cracking. Protect them with a tarpaulin to avoid dust accumulation.
What is the typical thickness variation within the 18mm dimension?+
We typically see variations of +/- 1mm within the 18mm thickness, which is common in natural timber products. This variance should be accounted for during cutting and assembly.
Are these sheets suitable for creating a raised floor?+
While feasible, this size may require additional support structures to ensure stability as a raised floor. Structural calculations are recommended prior to installation.
What is the maximum span I can achieve with these sheets for cladding?+
The maximum span depends on several factors including timber grade, fixing method and structural support. Refer to relevant building regulations and consult a structural engineer for specific guidance.
Can I cut these materials with a circular saw?+
Yes, you can use a circular saw but ensure it is set up with the appropriate blade speed and guide system to minimize splintering and maintain accuracy. A slower feed rate will improve results.
What type of adhesive would be suitable for joining these sheets?+
For bonding timber sheets, we recommend using a good quality wood glue designed for exterior or interior applications, depending on the intended use of the final product.
Are there any specific considerations when cutting large sheets?+
When cutting larger sheets, consider using a scoring technique followed by snapping to reduce the risk of splintering. Working with smaller sections is often more manageable.
