Before your Formby delivery arrives

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

• In summer Formby gets around 17h 03m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
• Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
• Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.

Quantities: a worked example

A 3 m partition 2.4 m high at 400 mm centres takes 9 CLS studs, 6 m of head and sole plate and a row of noggins, then boarding on both sides. Work out the boards too

Before you order 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.
