Timber

Timber refers to wood that has been processed and prepared specifically for use in construction and structural applications.

Unlike raw wood, timber is typically sawn into standardized shapes and sizes, such as beams, planks, and boards, to meet the requirements of building projects. It is a crucial material in building frameworks, flooring, roofing, and various structural elements, offering a blend of strength, durability, and aesthetic appeal. It is often treated or engineered to improve its performance, including resistance to moisture, pests, and fire. Timber is essential in both traditional and modern construction, playing a pivotal role in sustainable building practices due to its renewable nature and lower carbon footprint compared to materials like concrete and steel.
