What are the benefits of European Redwood and Whitewood for structural caracassing?

Our structural carcassing timber is 100% imported European Red/Whitewood and as such is slow grown and of a very high consistent quality. European Redwood and Whitewood are two of the most popular structural carcassing timbers used in construction today. Both offer a number of benefits that make them ideal for a wide range of applications.

European Redwood is a durable timber that is resistant to rot and insect infestation. It is also easy to work with, making it ideal for a wide range of construction projects.

Whitewood, on the other hand, is a lighter timber that is perfect for applications where weight is an important consideration. It is also more dimensionally stable than European Redwood, meaning it is less likely to warp or twist over time.

Both European Redwood and Whitewood are easy to work with and offer excellent structural performance which makes them a preferred first choice for builders and contractors when it comes to choosing structural timber for their construction projects.

European Red and Whitewood structural carcassing timber is suitable for any situation where structural timber is specified even to the most exacting requirement.
