CLS Studwork Timber delivered in County Down towns

Quantities: a worked example

Delivery to County Down: what helps

CLS travels in bundles alongside plasterboard and is easy to hand off at the kerb. Deliveries to Northern Ireland include a sea crossing, so we quote each order individually.

  • For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
  • 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.

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.

Ordering CLS timber for County Down: FAQs

Is there a minimum order for delivery to County Down?

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.

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.

Do you deliver CLS timber to trades and homeowners in County Down?

Both. Trades can apply for a trade account; homeowners and self-builders can order on a delivered quote.

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.
