Delivering CLS timber in Exeter

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

• In summer Exeter gets around 16h 30m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
• Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around EX2 are priced to the exact address.
• If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.

Before you order CLS timber

Stud spacing

Studs are usually set at 400 mm or 600 mm centres to suit 1200 mm wide plasterboard.

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.

Working out quantities for your Exeter job

A 2.4 m partition 2.4 m high at 400 mm centres takes 7 CLS studs, 4.8 m of head and sole plate and a row of noggins, then boarding on both sides. Work out the boards too
