Estimating your CLS timber

A 4.8 m partition 2.4 m high at 400 mm centres takes 13 CLS studs, 9.6 m of head and sole plate and a row of noggins, then boarding on both sides. Work out the boards too

Before your Dorset delivery arrives

CLS travels in bundles alongside plasterboard and is easy to hand off at the kerb. Our standard mainland delivery area covers Dorset.

• Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
• If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.
• Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.

CLS Studwork Timber: choosing well

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.

CLS Studwork Timber in Dorset: questions

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.

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Dorset?

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.

Do you deliver CLS timber to Dorset?

Yes. We deliver across Dorset, including BH, DT. Our standard mainland delivery area covers Dorset. Send your list or call 0800 088 6341 and we will price it delivered to your postcode.

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.
