Carcassing 47mm x 225mm Kiln Dried Timber, C24 stress grades, Devon

Our carcassing stock is strength graded C24, supplied by an established importer. The timber is planed-all-round for consistency and easy handling. Quality is high and supply from Sweden is reliable and consistent. Almost all of our carcassing is pressure treated with preservative for protected external use.

Carcassing stock section sizes

We keep large quantities of 47mm x 225mm carcassing timber. However we rotate stock as quickly as possible. Incoming carcassing deliveries from Scandinavia are received on a regular basis. Please note that because the imported timber is regularised and planed all-round the thickness of our timber is now 44-46mm

Most architects now specify C24 graded timber because of the longer spans available. However, this means that these timbers have to be imported. This is because our UK home-grown timber grows too quickly to achieve C24 grade.

Carcassing timber stocks are enviromentally certificated, unless marked otherwise. We sell both FSC and PEFC certified timber. Both organisations are dedicated to promoting sustainable forest management. The process includes independent timber audits and third-party certification

Carcassing timbers 47 x 225mm (aka 9x2)

Our carcassing timbers are Kiln Dried (KD) which gives them better dimensional stability. Then they are planed and regularised for a smooth and consistent finish. This makes it is more pleasant to handle than most sawn carcassing. The finish is very similar to CLS timber. All of our carcassing timbers, with the exception of some CLS, is supplied pressure treated. This pressure treatment is usually a light green in colour.

Popular uses for 9x2 carcassing include floor joists, ceiling joists and roof rafters. The pressure treated (aka tanalised) carcassing is also used for decking joists. If these are exposed then further preservative treatment is advised to prolong service life. Again, for limited-protection timbers, a tin of Ronseal End Grain protector for any cross cuts in joists.
