C24 Planed Pine Timber – Strong, smooth, and versatile
C24 Planed Pine Timber 25mm thick is a high-performance softwood engineered for structural and general building applications. Renowned for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio, straight grain, and smooth, planed finish, this timber is ideal for framing, roofing, flooring, and internal joinery.
Sourced from sustainably managed forests, our pine boards are kiln-dried to a moisture content of approximately 12%, ensuring dimensional stability and minimizing the risk of warping or splitting. The wood is light in color—ranging from pale cream to soft yellow—with a fine, even grain and occasional small knots that add natural character.
Graded to C24 standards in accordance with EN 338, our planed pine timber meets stringent structural requirements for load-bearing applications. Easy to work with, it is a reliable choice for professional contractors and DIY enthusiasts alike.
C24 pine timber also accepts stains, paints, and finishes exceptionally well, making it suitable for both concealed and exposed applications. Whether you’re constructing a frame, lining walls, or crafting furniture, this timber delivers the strength, stability, and versatility your project demands.

- Exterior and interior construction projects
- Color: Pale creamy white to light yellow (May develop a light golden tone over time with exposure to air and sunlight).
- Knots: Sound, tight knots are common, especially in construction-grade timber. Some boards may feature small black or loose knots, depending on the grade (e.g., C16 vs. C24). Knot presence adds natural character but may affect finishing in visible uses.
- Surface Finish: Suitable for sanding, painting, staining, or clear finishing. Minimal resin pockets; may occur occasionally in some boards.
- Defects: Construction grade may allow small surface checks, discoloration, or minor warp within standard tolerances.
Pine timber quick tips
Use C16 for general structural applications and C24 for higher load-bearing needs or longer spans.
Pine is soft and easy to work with, but sharp blades and clean bits will give the best results and reduce tear-out.
To avoid splitting, pre-drill pilot holes when fixing near ends or edges, especially in dry or narrow sections.
Pine is not naturally durable. Use a pressure-treated version or apply a suitable wood preservative for external applications.
