Estimating your CLS timber

A 4.2 m partition 2.4 m high at 400 mm centres takes 12 CLS studs, 8.4 m of head and sole plate and a row of noggins, then boarding on both sides. Work out the boards too

Getting the right CLS timber

Stud spacing

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

Loadbearing walls

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

Delivery to Cheltenham: what helps

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

• Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.
• If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.
• In summer Cheltenham gets around 16h 43m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.

Your questions answered

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Cheltenham?

There is no fixed minimum. For very small orders we will tell you honestly if the delivery cost outweighs the materials, so you can decide.

How soon can CLS timber be delivered in Cheltenham?

We confirm the delivery date when we price your order, before you commit. It depends on the product, the quantity and whether it is a stock line or made to order.

What does CLS stand for?

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

Is CLS timber treated?

CLS is kiln dried rather than treated as standard, because it is meant for dry internal use. Treated CLS is available if you need it.
