In addition to being treated to prevent termite attack, using F5 stress graded pine in construction, is a practical and cost-effective framing solution for applications, including studs, noggins, battens, and webs.
Hyne Timber’s F5 products comply with the Australian Standard for stress grading (AS/NZS 1748.1:2011) and have properties in accordance with the timber design standard (AS 1720.1:2010). Hyne termite treatments are independently audited and CodeMark certified.
Applications
Hyne Timber’s premium F5 stress graded pine is a practical and cost-effective framing solution for the following applications:
- Studs
- Noggins
- Battens
- Webs
- Bottom Plate
In fact, assuming F5 is used for applications in non-loadbearing walls, it could replace as much as 60% to 70% of the framing required.
By substituting F5 in applications where builders might otherwise use MGP10+ could result in a saving of up to ~15% on the cost of framing material.
