Timber & Sheets

CLS Studwork Timber delivered to Cardiff

CLS (Canadian Lumber Standard) timber is kiln-dried, planed softwood with rounded edges, sized at 38 × 63 mm and 38 × 89 mm, used mainly for internal stud walls.

We deliver CLS timber to sites, driveways and yards across Cardiff, from a single pallet for a small job to full loads for bigger builds.

Things to check before you order

Loadbearing walls

If the wall carries load it needs graded timber to a design. Plain CLS is not automatically structural.

Stud spacing

Studs are usually set at 400 mm or 600 mm centres to suit 1200 mm wide plasterboard.

Delivery to Cardiff: what helps

CLS travels in bundles alongside plasterboard and is easy to hand off at the kerb. Cardiff is inside our standard mainland delivery area.

  • Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around CF10 are priced to the exact address.
  • In summer Cardiff gets around 16h 38m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
  • For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.

Your questions answered

Can you deliver CLS timber to a site with restricted access in Cardiff?

Usually, yes. Tell us about the access when you ask for a price and we will plan the vehicle and offload, or say if a smaller vehicle is needed.

Can I add other materials to my Cardiff delivery?

Yes. Put everything on one list, from CLS timber to fixings and PPE, and we will price it as one delivery where the products can travel together.

What does CLS stand for?

Canadian Lumber Standard. It refers to the way the timber is dried, planed and finished with rounded edges.

How many studs do I need?

Divide the wall length by the stud spacing (400 or 600 mm), add one, then add plates and noggins. Our plasterboard calculator gives the boards for the same wall.
