Getting CLS timber onto your Sunderland site

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

  • In summer Sunderland gets around 17h 21m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
  • 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.

Choosing CLS timber

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.

A quick quantity check

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

Your questions answered

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.

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.
