Frequently asked questions about the Plank/boards category
Plank/boards — what are they and what are they used for?
Plank/boards are sawn timber products like timbers (50x100, 50x200) and boards (25x100, 25x50) with lengths from 3000 to 6000 mm. They are used for framing, floor joists, rafters, battens and general structural reinforcement in construction and renovation.
What standard sizes of timbers and boards are available in this category?
The range includes timbers 50x100, 50x150, 50x200 and 100x100 mm with lengths 3000, 4200, 5100, 5400, 6000 mm, and boards 25x50 and 25x100 mm with lengths around 3000–4800–4500 mm depending on the product.
Which timbers are suitable for floor joists?
Floor joists commonly use timbers 50x100 mm or 50x150 mm with lengths 3000–6000 mm. Use 50x150 for larger spans and heavier loads; 50x100 is suitable for smaller spans and lighter structures.
What is the difference between 50x100 and 50x200 timber and how to choose?
The difference is load-bearing capacity and stiffness: 50x200 is stiffer and suited to larger spans and load-bearing elements, while 50x100 is more economical for frames and joists. Choose based on span and required load with safety margin.
Can 25x50 boards be used for battens and finishing?
Yes, 25x50 mm boards are suitable for lightweight battens under roofing and finishing tasks where high load-bearing capacity is not required. Note lengths (around 3000–3600 mm) and treat with preservative for exterior use.
Which lengths of timbers and boards are popular and why choose different lengths?
Popular lengths are 3000, 4200, 5100, 5400, 6000 mm. Choose length to match the span to minimise joints and installation work; longer pieces reduce butt joints but consider transport and handling limits.
Which wood species are used for timbers and boards in the assortment?
The assortment includes typical sawn timber; individual product pages state the wood species and quality. Check the product description before purchase for softwood/hardwood and treatment details.
Do timbers and boards need preservative treatment for exterior use?
Yes, for exterior and damp conditions preservative and fire-retardant treatment is recommended. Many items are sold untreated — either select pre-treated products or treat the timber before installation.
How to choose between 25x100 and 25x50 boards for finishing?
Choose 25x100 mm when you need more stiffness and wider coverage (cladding, decking); 25x50 mm is better for mouldings, battens and lightweight finishing. Consider required strength and appearance.
