Getting the right CLS timber

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.

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 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

  • In summer Ellesmere Port gets around 16h 59m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
  • For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
  • If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
