Structural C24 calibrated wood is specially processed, certified wood that is characterized by precise dimensions, resistance to environmental factors, and durability.
The C24 marking indicates that this wood meets the strictest European Union standards, making it the most suitable choice for modular homes , roof structures and ceilings.
Oskarostatyba.lt builds modular houses with C24 calibrated wood construction
- Individual construction options – we offer several insulation levels for modular homes:
- 10 cm wall insulation, 15 cm roof and floor insulation + roofing – EUR 6,280.

How is C24 structural timber different from regular sawn timber?
C24 calibrated wood has precise dimensions along the entire length of the board, as it is processed on four-sided machines. It is dried to 18% moisture content, so the risk of deformation is minimal.
This wood is mechanically tested to meet strict bending, tensile and compression requirements. C24 wood also has greater resistance to rot and wear, making it a popular choice in construction.
Why is the C24 strength class marking for wood important?
The C24 strength class means that the wood is durable, long-lasting, and suitable for use in structures that must withstand heavy loads, such as walls, roofs, or floors.
- Resistance to bending and tensile strength – C24 wood can withstand high loads, making it suitable for areas that need to support heavy weight, such as ceilings, walls and roof structures.
- Ability to withstand dynamic loads – the elasticity of such wood ensures that the material will not crack if the structure moves slightly due to temperature changes or changing weather conditions.
- Quality assurance and standard compliance – C24 wood meets strict European Union quality standards (EN 14081), which guarantees that the product is reliable and safe for use in construction.
How to choose structural wood for house construction?
| Criterion | How to choose and why is it important? |
|---|---|
| Humidity | Choose wood with a moisture content of no more than 18%. Wood that is too moist will warp and lose strength as it dries, which can make the structure unstable. |
| Strength class | Choose calibrated wood with the C24 marking. This ensures that the wood will withstand heavy loads and will be suitable for use in roofs, ceilings, and other important structures. |
| Purpose | Consider where you will use the wood – for the roof, walls or floors. Each part may require different qualities of wood to ensure the structure is safe and durable. |
| Origin and certificates | Choose wood from trusted suppliers who provide product certificates, such as EN 14081. This guarantees the quality of the product. |
| Machining accuracy | Calibrated wood has very precise dimensions. This reduces the risk of errors during installation and allows for faster work. |
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How to recognize certified C24 wood?
Certified C24 wood has clear markings indicating strength class, source of origin, moisture level and compliance with standards such as EN 14081. The marking is usually visible on the surface of the boards or is included as a product certificate.
How is C24 calibrated wood superior to C16 or other grades of wood?
C24 wood is stronger and can withstand higher loads than C16 or C18 wood. It is suitable for complex structures where maximum strength is required, such as ceilings, roofs and floors.
When is it better to choose calibrated rather than plain sawn timber?
Calibrated lumber is necessary when precision and structural stability are required, such as modular homes or frame structures. Plain sawn lumber is suitable for structures where dimensional changes are not critical.
Is C24 wood suitable for outdoor use?
C24 wood is suitable for outdoor structures if it is additionally impregnated.
What are the most common mistakes when choosing structural timber?
One of the main mistakes is choosing wood without the proper certification. It is also common to choose wood that is too moist, which deforms as it dries.
