Builders' joinery and carpentry of wood, including cellular wood panels, assembled flooring panels, shingles and shakes
In plain English
This category covers wooden construction materials such as windows, doors, posts, beams, shutters, shingles, and assembled flooring panels. It also includes engineered structural timber products like glue-laminated timber, cross-laminated timber, and I-beams, along with other builders' joinery items made from bamboo or cellular wood panels. The specific type of wood used, particularly whether it is tropical or bamboo, determines the classification for windows and doors. For flooring panels, the distinction depends on whether the top layer is bamboo, if the product is designed for mosaic floors, or if it consists of multiple layers.
