Quantities: a worked example

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

How delivery works in Kent

CLS travels in bundles alongside plasterboard and is easy to hand off at the kerb. Our standard mainland delivery area covers Kent.

• For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
• Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
• If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.

Choosing 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.

Common questions from Kent

What does CLS stand for?

Canadian Lumber Standard. It refers to the way the timber is dried, planed and finished with rounded edges.

Can I add other materials to my Kent delivery?

Yes. Put everything on one list, from CLS timber to fixings and PPE, and we will price it as one delivery where the products can travel together.

Do you deliver CLS timber to Kent?

Yes. We deliver across Kent, including ME, TN, CT, DA, BR. Our standard mainland delivery area covers Kent. Send your list or call 0800 088 6341 and we will price it delivered to your postcode.

How many studs do I need?

Divide the wall length by the stud spacing (400 or 600 mm), add one, then add plates and noggins. Our plasterboard calculator gives the boards for the same wall.
