FAQs
1. What does “CLS” mean?
CLS stands for **Canadian Lumber Standard**, referring to timber that has been planed, regularised, and finished with eased edges for safer handling and a smoother appearance.
2. Is this CLS timber suitable for outdoor use?
No, this product is **untreated** and best suited for **indoor use** such as studwork and framing. For external applications, a pressure-treated timber is recommended.
3. Why is kiln drying important?
**Kiln drying** removes excess moisture from the timber, making it lighter, stronger, and more dimensionally stable. It also helps reduce the likelihood of shrinking, twisting, or cracking over time.
