Getting CLS timber onto your Merthyr Tydfil site

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

• If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
• If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
• Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.

Things to check before you order

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.

Common questions from Merthyr Tydfil

Do you deliver CLS timber to trades and homeowners in Merthyr Tydfil?

Both. Trades can apply for a trade account; homeowners and self-builders can order on a delivered quote.

Can you deliver CLS timber to a site with restricted access in Merthyr Tydfil?

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.

What does CLS stand for?

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

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.
