Spruce C24 Construction Timber (SPF-C24) — 50x100x4000mm

Description

1. Product Overview
   Spruce C24 Construction Timber (SPF‑C24) — 50 x 100 x 4000 mm is a kiln‑dried, strength‑graded softwood timber manufactured to CEN/EN 14081 (or equivalent) standards for structural use. Designed for load‑bearing construction elements, it is primarily used in framing, roof trusses, formwork, and engineered components where predictable mechanical performance is required. The key value proposition is consistent C24 strength class performance combined with dimensional stability and economical supply — delivering predictable structural capacity, faster installation, and lower life‑cycle cost versus untreated or ungraded alternatives. Strategically, this product supports large‑scale residential, commercial and light industrial projects by reducing design risk, improving build speed, and simplifying compliance with structural codes across global markets.

2. Key Specifications & Technical Characteristics

• Species / material: Spruce-Pine-Fir (SPF) group, commonly designated Spruce.

• Strength grade: C24 (visual/CTP/ machine-graded per EN 14081 or equivalent certification); characteristic bending strength and modulus of elasticity consistent with C24 class.

• Moisture content: Kiln-dried to target 12% ± 3% (typical for construction timber).

• Dimensions (nominal): 50 mm x 100 mm x 4000 mm. Machined to specified tolerances for straightness and square edges.

• Physical form: Planed/merchantable rectangular sections; uniform surface finish suitable for direct onsite use.

• Density: Typical oven‑dry density for spruce in C24 range (industry standard values apply; specification sheets available on request).

• Defect control: Sorted for knots, splits, and cross grain according to grade rules to ensure structural integrity.

• Durability: Non‑treated for interior structural use; preservative treatment options available on request for exterior or ground‑contact applications.

• Fire performance: Standard softwood fire characteristics; fire retardant treatment options available upon specification.

• Packaging: Bundled and strapped on pallets; protective wrapping for export shipments. Custom packing and labeling available for project requirements.

• Shelf life / storage: Indefinite if stored dry and protected from weather; recommended storage under cover with air circulation to maintain moisture content.

3. Core Industrial Applications

• Primary industries: Residential and commercial construction, timber frame manufacturing, civil engineering, offsite modular construction, formwork and temporary works, prefabricated roof and floor truss production.

• Operational use cases:

  • Structural wall and roof framing where C24 design values are required for load-bearing members.

  • Prefabricated truss and panel production lines requiring consistent dimensional and mechanical properties.

  • Temporary works and formwork systems needing reliable, repeatable performance and quick replacement cycles.

  • Light civil structures and non‑ferrous secondary structures where low weight and ease of machining are advantages.

• Why it outperforms alternatives:

  • Predictable mechanical properties reduce over‑engineering and permit optimized material use.

  • Kiln drying and grading minimize shrinkage and warping compared with green or ungraded stock.

  • Cost‑effective relative to hardwoods and engineered products for many framing applications, enabling lower capital and installation labor costs.

  • Readily machinable and compatible with standard fasteners and connectors, streamlining on‑site workflows.

4. Competitive Advantages

• Quality consistency: Machine/visual graded to C24 with documented batch traceability and inspection reports available per shipment.

• Supply reliability: Bulk production capacity and scheduled shipments support large project timelines and frame procurement contracts.

• Logistics capability: Export packing, container loading optimization, and multimodal freight arrangements available; tailored delivery windows for construction programs.

• Price competitiveness: Optimized sourcing and processing deliver low unit cost per structural capacity versus engineered alternatives.

• Sustainability: Sourced from managed forests (certification options such as FSC/PEFC available on request), low embodied carbon versus steel and concrete, and carbon sequestration benefits in building applications.

• Technical support: Structural design values, grade certificates, drying reports and handling guidance provided; custom spec consultation for truss manufacturers and OEMs.

5. Commercial & Supply Information

• Minimum order quantity (MOQ): BULK 20 MT.

• Loading capacity (MT per container): Typical 20 ft container capacity up to ~20 MT (subject to packing configuration and local regulations); 40 ft container capacity up to ~24–28 MT depending on bundling and dunnage. Exact load plans provided per order.

• Lead times and scheduling: Lead time depends on order size and destination; project delivery programs and staged shipments available for large contracts (detailed schedule provided upon RFQ).

• Documentation: Commercial invoice, packing list, grade certificates, moisture content report, and phytosanitary certificates available as required.
