Whitewood timber Oman contractors buy for everyday site work is a versatile construction softwood that cuts, nails and shapes easily. Al Yusr stocks whitewood in five standard sections, supplied from Romania and delivered from Muscat and our 8 branches for shuttering supports, framing, battens and general carpentry.

Because it is lighter than hardwood, whitewood is quick to handle and economical for the large quantities that formwork and temporary works consume. Al Yusr whitewood is marked with red-painted ends, so bundles are simple to sort and check when they arrive on site.

• General site carpentry

Choosing the right whitewood section

Smaller sections such as 1×4 and 2×3 suit battens, light framing and bracing, while 2×4, 3×3 and 4×4 handle props, posts and heavier supports. Ask your formwork designer for a take-off and order a small margin for cutting waste. For heavier loads and joinery, compare it with our redwood grade.

Storing whitewood in Oman

Stack bundles on level bearers off the ground, keep layers straight with spacers and cover stacks from direct sun and rain. Heat and humidity warp timber that is stored badly, so buy to your programme and check each delivery for straightness on arrival.

What to check before you order whitewood

Start with the take-off from your formwork designer, listing each section and length. Check that the timber is straight, free from large knots at the load points and dry enough not to shrink after fixing. Ask about quantity and delivery date together, since large formwork jobs consume timber quickly and a late truck can stop a pour. We can supply whitewood with plywood and reinforcement on the same order, which simplifies receiving and storing materials on a busy site.

Whitewood is also a popular choice for hoarding, packing cases, pallets and temporary site structures, where an economical timber that is easy to cut and nail saves both time and cost. Because the sections are standard sizes, offcuts from one job often find use on another.
