CLS Studwork Timber we supply in Newmarket

  • Graded CLSC16 or C24 graded CLS for loadbearing studwork where specified.
  • Noggins and head platesCut from the same stock.
  • 38 × 63 mm CLSFor non-loadbearing partitions and boxing in.
  • 38 × 89 mm CLSFor taller partitions, more insulation depth or heavier boards.

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.

Loadbearing walls

If the wall carries load it needs graded timber to a design. Plain CLS is not automatically structural.

How much will you need?

A 3.6 m partition 2.4 m high at 400 mm centres takes 10 CLS studs, 7.2 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 Newmarket

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

CLS Studwork Timber in Newmarket: questions

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.

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

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.

Do you deliver CLS timber to trades and homeowners in Newmarket?

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

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.
