How and where to use guide
3.6Mtr X 47 X 100mm C24 Treated Regularised KD Carcassing Timber
Structural applications
C24 timber is commonly used for load-bearing elements where strength and reliability are essential. The C24 strength grade indicates superior performance compared to lower grades, with enhanced stability and fewer knots.
- Floor joists in residential and commercial buildings
- Roof battens and structural roof work
- Stud walls and partition framing
- Decking frames and outdoor structures
Indoor use
For internal applications such as floor joists and stud walls, the treated timber provides long-term durability and resistance to fungal decay. The planed, regularised finish gives a clean appearance suitable for visible or semi-visible applications.
- Ideal for floor joists in new builds and renovations
- Suitable for internal stud walls and partition framing
- Provides reliable performance in heated, dry environments
Outdoor and exposed use
The pressure-treatment provides protection against rot, fungal decay, and insect attack, making this timber suitable for outdoor construction. However, outdoor applications require proper design to manage water exposure and ensure adequate ventilation.
- Decking frames and outdoor structural work
- Garden structures and raised beds
- Ensure adequate ventilation and drainage in outdoor applications
- Use corrosion-resistant fixings for all outdoor work
Building regulations and standards
This timber meets current BS EN standards for structural timber and is suitable for use in building work subject to Building Regulations. Always consult structural engineers or building control for load-bearing applications to ensure compliance with local requirements.
- Meets BS EN standards for structural timber
- Suitable for use in Building Regulations-compliant construction
- Verify suitability with structural design for your specific project
