Carcassing 47mm x 250mm Kiln Dried Timber C24 stock in 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 substantial quantities of 47mm x 250mm carcassing timber. At the same time 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 most of our timber is now 44mm

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

Carcassing timber stocks are 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 250mm (aka 10x2)

Our carcassing timbers are Kiln Dried (KD) which gives them better stability then planed and regularised for a smooth and consistent finish. 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 10x2 carcassing include floor 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.
