Getting CLS timber onto your Newtownards site

CLS travels in bundles alongside plasterboard and is easy to hand off at the kerb. Deliveries to Northern Ireland include a sea crossing, so we quote each order individually.

• If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
• Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.
• If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.

Choosing 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.

CLS Studwork Timber questions

Is CLS timber treated?

CLS is kiln dried rather than treated as standard, because it is meant for dry internal use. Treated CLS is available if you need it.

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.

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Newtownards?

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.

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

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