Frequently asked questions

+Is surplus C24 still structurally graded?

Yes if the stamp is intact. Cut ends with no grading stamp cannot be used structurally without re-grading.

+How do I bundle offcuts for resale?

By length band (600–900mm, 900–1200mm, etc.) and strap with pallet-wrap. Photograph the bundle end for count.
