Structural Timber: SABS-Approved & S5 Kiln-Dried for Strong, Reliable Roofs

Why Choose SABS-Approved Timber?

The South African Bureau of Standards (SABS) certifies timber that meets strict quality and strength requirements. This gives builders peace of mind that the timber will perform under load and resist environmental challenges.

Benefits include:

• Strength & Reliability – Suitable for structural applications.

• Compliance – Meets building regulation standards.

• Durability – Designed to withstand roof loads and weather conditions.

What Does S5 Kiln-Dried Mean?

S5 kiln-dried timber is processed in controlled conditions to reduce moisture content. This ensures that the timber:

• Resists Warping & Cracking

• Has a Longer Lifespan

• Is Easier to Work With during construction

Kiln drying also improves stability, making it the preferred choice for roof construction in Gauteng’s variable climate.
