Wall logs, beams and boards

Standard Wood Using Rules

Which timber we stock and use in our projects. This is a quick reference for sales managers.

How to read this page
  • All sizes are in millimetres.
  • Wall thickness means the thickness of the wall logs in the building. Most elements are chosen by it.
  • Boards are listed as thickness × width.
  • Only products we actively use are listed. For anything else, contact the project coordinator.

1. Quick guide: what goes with each wall

Pick the wall thickness first, then read across. A dash means the element is not standard for that wall.
