Choosing CLS timber
Loadbearing walls
If the wall carries load it needs graded timber to a design. Plain CLS is not automatically structural.
Which size?
38 × 63 mm suits most partitions up to standard ceiling heights. 38 × 89 mm gives stiffer, taller walls and more room for insulation.
Getting CLS timber onto your Chester-le-Street site
CLS travels in bundles alongside plasterboard and is easy to hand off at the kerb. Chester-le-Street is inside our standard mainland delivery area.
- For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
- Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
- Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
How much will you need?
A 3.6 m partition 2.4 m high at 400 mm centres takes 10 CLS studs, 7.2 m of head and sole plate and a row of noggins, then boarding on both sides. Work out the boards too
Ordering CLS timber for Chester-le-Street: FAQs
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.
Can you deliver CLS timber to a site with restricted access in Chester-le-Street?
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.
What is the difference between CLS and planed timber?
CLS has rounded edges and is sized for studwork; planed all round timber has square edges and comes in many more sizes for joinery and trim.
Is there a minimum order for delivery to Chester-le-Street?
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.
