Product Information

Full details

The B&Q Sawn Treated Timber (47mm x 100mm x 4.8m) is an essential structural material designed for professional contractors and serious DIYers involved in framing projects. Its primary benefit is the strength-graded, kiln-dried, and pressure-treated construction, which ensures long-term durability and structural integrity in load-bearing applications; however, users should note that the 4.8m length may require careful planning for transportation and maneuvering in smaller workspaces.

FAQs

Is this timber suitable for ground contact?

This timber is intended for internal or protected external environments; it should not be used in direct ground contact unless specified for such use by regional building codes.

Can I paint this timber?

Yes, but allow the wood to dry fully after installation before applying any primer or paint to ensure proper adhesion.

What does 'regularised' mean?

Regularised means the timber has been machined to a consistent, accurate dimension, making it much easier to achieve a level surface when framing.

Does this timber shrink?

Because it is kiln-dried, the moisture content is significantly reduced compared to green timber, which greatly minimizes shrinkage after installation.

Can I cut this timber to size?

Yes, it can be cut using standard woodworking power saws or hand saws. Remember to treat any cut ends with an end-grain preservative.

Troubleshooting

Timber appears to have slight surface moisture or green tint

This is a common result of the pressure-treatment process; allow the timber to air dry in a well-ventilated area before applying decorative finishes.

Difficulty in fastening with standard screws

Ensure you are using high-quality exterior or structural screws designed for pressure-treated timber, as the treatment can accelerate corrosion in cheaper, non-coated fasteners.

Pros and Cons

Pros

High structural reliability for load-bearing use
Pressure-treated for extended service life
Kiln-dried to maintain dimensional stability
Uniform regularised finish for consistent construction
Eased edges reduce splinter risk and improve grip

Cons

Length (4.8m) can be difficult to transport in standard vehicles
Sawn texture may require sanding if aesthetics are a primary concern
Heavy weight requires caution during manual handling

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of the timber, it is best practice to seal any freshly cut ends with an appropriate wood preservative, as cutting into the wood can expose untreated fibers.

Compatibility: Compatible with standard framing hardware, structural screws, and construction adhesives. Ensure that all fasteners are rated for use with pressure-treated wood to avoid corrosion.
Handling: Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves and eyewear when cutting, as sawn timber can produce splinters.
Storage: Store flat, off the ground, and protected from direct ground moisture to prevent uneven drying or warping before installation.
