Treated Carcassing Timber: choosing well

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.

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.

In England, building work is checked against the Approved Documents, for example Part A for structure and Part L for energy efficiency, through your council's building control team or a registered building control approver.

Delivery to Whitley Bay: what helps

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

• On busy streets in Whitley Bay, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
• In summer Whitley Bay gets around 17h 23m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
• If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.

Sizing your order

A floor 3 m wide with joists spanning 4.2 m at 400 mm centres needs 9 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.
