Getting the right CLS timber
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.
Sizing your order
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
Getting CLS timber onto your Ipswich site
CLS travels in bundles alongside plasterboard and is easy to hand off at the kerb. Ipswich is inside our standard mainland delivery area.
- With roughly 7h 44m of daylight in Ipswich around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.
- For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
- Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
Your questions answered
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.
Do you deliver CLS timber to trades and homeowners in Ipswich?
Both. Trades can apply for a trade account; homeowners and self-builders can order on a delivered quote.
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.
