CLS Studwork Timber: choosing well

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.

How much will you need?

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

Delivery to Didcot: what helps

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

  • With roughly 7h 48m of daylight in Didcot around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.
  • If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
  • Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.

CLS Studwork Timber questions

Can CLS be used for loadbearing walls?

Only if it is strength graded and the wall is designed for the load. Ask for graded CLS if your design calls for it.

How soon can CLS timber be delivered in Didcot?

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.

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

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.
