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.

Stud spacing

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

Working out quantities for your Melton Mowbray job

A 4.2 m partition 2.4 m high at 400 mm centres takes 12 CLS studs, 8.4 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 Melton Mowbray site

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

• If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.
• Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.
• On busy streets in Melton Mowbray, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.

Your questions answered

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Melton Mowbray?

There is no fixed minimum. For very small orders we will tell you honestly if the delivery cost outweighs the materials, so you can decide.

What does CLS stand for?

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

Can you deliver CLS timber to a site with restricted access in Melton Mowbray?

Usually, yes. Tell us about the access when you ask for a price and we will plan the vehicle and offload, or say if a smaller vehicle is needed.

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.
