What is 25mm x 50mm 2x1 Timber 4.8m?
25mm x 50mm (nominal) treated timber, also known as 2x1 timber, is a lightweight, versatile softwood batten widely used in construction, joinery, and DIY projects. Supplied in a 4.8 metre length, it offers an adaptable solution for framing, battening, packing, and general-purpose support tasks.
This timber is pressure treated with preservative to help protect against fungal decay and insect attack, making it suitable for both internal and external applications in covered or sheltered environments. It is supplied sawn and ungraded, meaning it is not intended for structural load-bearing applications but is ideal for general building use where strength grading is not the primary concern.
Applications
25mm x 50mm (2x1) Timber 4.8m is a versatile, general-purpose timber ideal for framing, bracing, boxing-in, and light construction work where structural grading is not required.
It is commonly utilised for:
- Creating battens for fixing plywood, drywall, or sheet materials
- Providing packers or spacers behind cladding or panelling
- Supporting insulation by forming cavities between walls, floors, or roofs
- Framing for garden structures (sheds, kennels, storage enclosures)
- Timber grounds for fixing skirtings or architraves
- Backing rails or noggins in studwork or partition walls (non-loadbearing)
- General non-structural framing, boxing-in, or temporary works
Benefits
- Pressure treated for protection: Treated to resist fungal decay and insect attack, extending its lifespan in damp or moisture-prone environments.
- Versatile application: Suitable for a wide range of internal and covered external uses, including battening, framing, and support work.
- Lightweight and easy to handle: Small cross-section makes it simple to carry, position, cut, and install with standard tools.
- Long 4.8 metre length: Reduces the number of joints required across longer spans, improving efficiency and reducing potential weak points.
- Economical solution: Cost-effective material for non-structural applications where strength grading isn’t required.
- Good workability: Can be easily cut, drilled, or planed to size on site.
- Provides support for insulation: Ideal for creating cavities or fixing insulation boards between structural elements.
- Acts as a fixing point for sheet materials: Commonly used to create level surfaces for securing plasterboard, plywood, or cladding.
