CLS timber
CLS timber refers to wood that meets the Canadian Lumber Standard. It is a softwood that has been planed and rounded on all sides, resulting in a smooth and even surface. Originally from Canada, CLS timber is valued for its high quality, consistent dimensions, and wide range of uses. It is typically made from spruce, pine, or fir – collectively known as SPF (Spruce-Pine-Fir).
Thanks to its reliability and versatility, CLS timber is suitable for many types of projects. It’s commonly used in new constructions, extensions, structural framing, as well as for building custom furniture and various DIY projects.
