Grading

The grades of timber stocked are in accordance with the relevant grading authority from the country of origin and the species. For an appropriate premium, we can regrade to suit your pre-defined criteria.

For our supply of 'beams' such as European Oak, either 'green' or from our stocks of 'seasoned' beamstock. We can strength-grade to the TH system, using our in-house visual strength graders, providing cerificated assurance that graded beams meet the standards required.

CATG Strength Grading Rules

To complement our Oak Grading, the same graders are also qualified in softwood, and tropical grading. Altough many softwoods are mechanically graded at point of production, many jobs require the timber to be planed or profiled. If this is carried out then the timber concerned loses the grade. Our graders can regrade the timber after the work has been done, satisfying the necessary strength requirements that you may have.
