FAQs

What is the primary benefit of kiln-drying?

Kiln-drying reduces the moisture content, which makes the timber more stable and less prone to warping.

Is the timber suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, the treated whitewood is suitable for outdoor use. However, additional treatment such as paint or stain is recommended for enhanced protection.

Can I paint the timber?

Yes, the rough sawn surface accepts paint well. Ensure the surface is clean before painting and use a primer if necessary.

What type of fasteners should I use?

Use screws or nails suitable for the application. For outdoor projects, use galvanized or stainless steel fasteners to prevent corrosion.

How should I store the timber?

Store the timber in a dry, covered area, away from direct sunlight and moisture.

What does 'rough sawn' mean?

Rough sawn means the timber has a textured surface with visible saw marks, which is ideal for paint and adhesive.

What are the available dimensions?

The timber is available in various dimensions like (L)2.4M (W)75mm (T)22mm, (W)50mm (T)22mm, and (W)38mm (T)22mm.

Troubleshooting

Timber is warping after installation.

Ensure the timber is adequately supported. Consider using additional bracing or adjusting the support structure. Also, ensure the timber is not exposed to extreme moisture fluctuations.

Difficulty in cutting the timber.

Use sharp saw blades designed for wood. Ensure the saw is properly aligned and the timber is securely held during cutting.

Fasteners not holding securely.

Use fasteners of the appropriate size and type. Pilot holes may be required to prevent splitting. If using screws, pre-drill holes.
