CLS (Canadian Lumber Standard) originated for the Canadian market. It was the name for timber that was manufactured in Canada for use in their timber-framed house constructions. It is made from kiln-dried whitewood and provides an attractive finish that is easier to stain or paint.
In recent years, CLS has increased in popularity in the UK. It is typically used for carcassing, stud walls and framing, amongst other timber-frame home construction projects. It offers many benefits, including the fact that it is more affordable than regularised carcassing and is ideal in non-structural, unseen applications. It is graded in accordance with British Standards, to either C16 or C24.
All of our timber is responsibly obtained from first-rate European and UK suppliers and manufactured to the highest standard, to ensure consistent customer satisfaction.
