Lumber Grades and Definitions

A reference guide to the common grades and surfacing designations for this type of lumber.

• B: The grade designation. B grade is an appearance grade below A but still high quality. Allows small, tight knots and minor imperfections while maintaining an attractive overall look. Commonly used in finish work, siding, trim, and exposed applications.
• Heart Redwood: Redwood lumber cut from the darker inner heartwood of the tree. Known for its natural resistance to decay and insects, it is durable and long-lasting, making it ideal for decking, fencing, siding, and other exterior projects.
• Dry: Lumber that has been seasoned to reduce its moisture content. This may be air-dried or kiln-dried unless specifically labeled KD. More stable and less likely to shrink or warp compared to green lumber.
• S4S: Abbreviation for “Surfaced Four Sides.” Lumber that has been planed smooth on all four sides for consistent dimensions and a clean finish, ready for installation.
