Frequently Asked Questions About Framing Timber
What framing timber do you stock in Auckland?
Our framing timber range includes kiln dried and wet framing timber in various sizes, sourced locally from New Zealand's leading manufacturers. All framing timber is extensively graded and meets NZ building standards, with treatments from H1.2 to H5 to suit different Auckland construction applications.
What's the difference between wet and kiln dried framing timber?
Wet framing timber is commonly used for fencing, decking joists, bearers, and structural external supports where moisture exposure is expected. Kiln dried framing timber is ideal for internal partitioning and ceiling framing where stability and reduced shrinkage are important for your Auckland build.
Does framing timber need to be treated?
Yes, framing timber treatment depends on its application and exposure risk. Internal framing timber typically requires H1.2 treatment for insect protection, while external structural framing timber needs H3 or higher treatment for moisture and decay resistance. Our framing timber comes with appropriate treatments from H1.2 to H5, ensuring your Auckland construction project meets NZ building code requirements for durability and structural integrity.
Is your framing timber suitable for structural applications?
Yes, our framing timber is structural grade timber specifically engineered for construction, meeting strict NZ building standards for load-bearing applications. This structural framing timber is extensively graded and designed to meet the demanding requirements of residential and commercial Auckland builds.
What is the code for timber framing in New Zealand?
NZS 3604:2011 Timber Framed Buildings sets the minimum standard for the design and construction of timber-framed buildings in New Zealand. NZS 3604 provides methods and details for constructing timber-framed structures that don't require specific engineering design. Our framing timber complies with NZS 3604 requirements, ensuring your Auckland construction project meets New Zealand building standards for structural integrity and safety.
