CLS Studwork Timber: choosing well

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.

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

Getting CLS timber onto your North Shields site

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

• Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
• Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
• Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around NE29 are priced to the exact address.

Common questions from North Shields

What is the difference between CLS and planed timber?

CLS has rounded edges and is sized for studwork; planed all round timber has square edges and comes in many more sizes for joinery and trim.

Do you deliver CLS timber to trades and homeowners in North Shields?

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

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.

How soon can CLS timber be delivered in North Shields?

We confirm the delivery date when we price your order, before you commit. It depends on the product, the quantity and whether it is a stock line or made to order.
