Frequently Asked Questions
What types of wood are available for construction in Saudi Arabia?
White wood (spruce/pine) is most common for formwork. Plywood grades include Marine, BWP, and Commercial. MDF and particleboard are available for interior applications. Teak and hardwoods for premium finishes.
How should timber be stored on site?
Store timber off the ground on bearers, covered to protect from sun and rain. Allow air circulation to prevent moisture buildup. Acclimatize interior timber for 48-72 hours before installation.
What is the difference between plywood grades?
Marine plywood uses waterproof glue and has no voids - ideal for formwork and wet areas. BWR (Boiling Water Resistant) is suitable for humid conditions. Commercial grade is for interior use only.
