What is CLS Timber?
CLS timber is kiln-dried, machine planed and strength graded softwood, typically used for internal framing. Its eased corners improve handling safety and reduce splintering, while the controlled moisture content enhances dimensional stability and reduces the risk of warping or twisting after installation.
