Product Overview

Canadian Lumber Standard (CLS) softwood stud, planed-all-round with eased edges for safer handling on site. 

Measuring 4800mm in length with a 38mm x 89mm (4" x 2") section, it is kiln-dried for stability and graded to C16 in line with BS EN 338 for reliable structural performance. 

Commonly used at 600mm centres, this length is suited to tall stud walls, partitions, and framing where fewer joints are required and deeper insulation is specified.


Features & Benefits

  • C16 strength grading: Provides proven load-bearing capacity for compliant studwork and framing.
  • Kiln-dried softwood: Reduces the risk of warping, twisting, or cracking in service.
  • Planed-all-round finish with eased edges: Safer handling and easier installation on site.
  • Consistent quality: Machine-graded to ensure reliable performance across lengths.
  • Smooth, workable material: Easy to cut, drill, and fix using standard tools.
  • Length 4800mm: Reduces the number of joints in extended stud wall runs.
  • Section 38mm x 89mm (4" x 2"): Larger stud section suited to taller walls and deeper insulation.

Please Note: Colour and finish are representative only and may vary slightly as this is a natural product.

Applications

  • Stud wall construction: Suitable for partition walls and non-loadbearing internal frameworks.
  • Load-bearing studwork: Can be used where C16 grade is required for structural framing.
  • Framing for openings: Suitable for door and window surrounds within stud walls.
  • General construction: Provides additional depth for services and insulation in internal structures.

Installation Guidance

  • Fix at correct centres: Typically 600mm for 4x2 studs, ensuring plasterboard or sheet material is properly supported.
  • Store indoors: Protects timber from rain and excess moisture before installation.
  • Use correct fixings: Nails or screws suitable for structural timber ensure secure joints.


Compliance & Performance

  • Strength class C16: Graded in accordance with BS EN 338 for structural use.
  • Service class 2: Suitable for internal environments where moisture content is controlled but occasional humidity may occur.
