How and where to use guide
6.0Mtr X 47 X 100mm C24 Treated Regularised KD Carcassing Timber
Floor joists and suspended floors
This timber is ideal for floor joists in residential and light commercial buildings. The 47 × 100mm section is commonly used for domestic floor construction, supporting both live and dead loads. Spacing and support centres should be determined by structural design based on span and load requirements. The treated finish provides protection in situations where moisture exposure may occur, such as ground floors or areas with high humidity.
- Suitable for residential floor joists
- Provides reliable load-bearing performance
- Treatment protects against moisture in ground-floor applications
- Consistent sizing aids installation
Stud walls and partitions
The 47 × 100mm section is a standard size for timber-frame stud walls in residential construction. It provides adequate strength for non-load-bearing and load-bearing partitions, depending on design and spacing. The regularised finish makes it straightforward to plumb and level during installation, and the treatment offers protection in areas prone to moisture.
