Picking the right product
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.
Getting CLS timber onto your Reading site
CLS travels in bundles alongside plasterboard and is easy to hand off at the kerb. Reading 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.
- On busy streets in Reading, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
- If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
How much will you need?
A 4.8 m partition 2.4 m high at 400 mm centres takes 13 CLS studs, 9.6 m of head and sole plate and a row of noggins, then boarding on both sides. Work out the boards too
CLS Studwork Timber in Reading: 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.
Do you deliver CLS timber to trades and homeowners in Reading?
Both. Trades can apply for a trade account; homeowners and self-builders can order on a delivered quote.
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.
