2.4Mtr X 47 X 50mm (2" x 2") Treated Regularised KD Carcassing Timber
Choosing the right size
The 47 × 50mm section is a standard carcassing size suitable for mid-span joists, stud walls, and roof battens in typical domestic and light commercial construction. The 2.4 metre length suits standard ceiling heights and floor spans. Consider your specific load requirements and span distances when selecting quantity and positioning.
- C24 strength grade provides superior load-bearing performance compared to C16 timber
- Regularised finish means consistent dimensions across all pieces
- Kiln-dried reduces moisture content for stability and easier handling
Pressure treatment and durability
This timber is pressure-treated with preservative to protect against rot, fungal decay, and insect attack. This treatment extends the service life significantly, making it suitable for use in exposed or damp conditions where untreated timber would deteriorate.
- Rot and decay resistant for long-term durability
- Protects against insect infestation
- Suitable for both internal and external applications
Quantity and ordering
Order by the individual length or in bulk depending on your project requirements. Each piece is 2.4 metres long, so calculate your total linear metres needed and divide by 2.4 to determine quantity. Allow for waste and cutting on site.
- Sold as individual 2.4 metre lengths
