Timber sizes & supply lengths in mm
Sawn softwood, glulam and LVL reference dimensions and typical lengths for architectural coordination in Cyprus, Greece and the UK.
Sawn, nominal and finished sizes differ. State the required finished dimensions and structural grade. Engineered timber dimensions and strength depend on the chosen manufacturer.
