What is dressed timber?
Timber begins in a raw state, known as “rough-sawn”. Timber in this style is often used for projects where looks aren’t particularly important. For example, boxing for concrete, flooring and attic beams or framing for decks. Dressed timber is made by passing rough-sawn timber through a machine that makes a precision cut, leaving a smooth, consistent finish. This makes it ideal for interior projects where the timber will be seen. For example, skirting boards, internal beams and furniture.
