Choosing carcassing timber

Which treatment?

Treatment is specified by use class. Timber inside a building is usually use class 1 or 2; external timber out of ground contact is use class 3; timber in ground contact needs use class 4.

C16 or C24?

C24 is stronger and stiffer, so it can span further or use a smaller section. Span tables and your structural drawings decide which grade and size you need.

Wales has its own Approved Documents, including its own Part L for energy efficiency, and building control is handled by the local authority or a registered approver.

Before your Rhondda delivery arrives

Timber is delivered in packs or bundles on a flatbed; long lengths need clear access along the drop point. Rhondda is inside our standard mainland delivery area.

• With roughly 7h 48m of daylight in Rhondda around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.
• On busy streets in Rhondda, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
• Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.

How much will you need?

A floor 6 m wide with joists spanning 3 m at 400 mm centres needs 16 joists, plus trimmers and noggins. The section and grade, such as 47 × 200 mm C24, come from span tables or your engineer; send us the timber schedule and we will price it.
