C24 Timber 6×2 (47 x 150mm) 4.8m

Our C24 Treated Timber 6″ x 2″ (47 x 150mm) 4.8m is a high-strength, premium-grade structural softwood, meticulously selected for demanding construction and building projects across the UK. This robust timber is an essential choice for applications requiring superior load-bearing capacity and exceptional stability, making it ideal for professional builders and serious DIY enthusiasts alike.

Key Features and Specifications

• Strength Graded C24: Certified to the highest common structural grade in the UK, offering a minimum bending strength of 24 N/mm², ensuring superior performance for critical load-bearing applications.
• Kiln-Dried: Processed to reduce moisture content to below 20%, significantly enhancing dimensional stability, straightness, and reducing the risk of warping or shrinkage.
• Pressure Treated (UC2): Impregnated with a high-performance preservative (e.g., Tanalith E) to Use Class 2 (UC2) standards, providing long-term protection against fungal decay and insect attack for above-ground use.
• Regularised with Eased Edges: Planed all round (PAR) to consistent dimensions (typically 45x145mm finished size) with rounded corners for safer handling and a neater finish.
• Material: Sourced from slow-grown coniferous trees, typically Scandinavian Whitewood Spruce, known for its tighter grain structure and enhanced density.
• Dimensions: Nominal 47mm x 150mm (6″ x 2″) with a length of 4.8 metres, providing fewer joints for longer spans.

Applications

This versatile C24 treated timber is perfectly suited for a wide array of structural applications where strength, durability, and reliability are paramount. Common uses include:

• Roof Structures: Ideal for rafters, purlins, and roof trusses, supporting the weight of the roof build-up.
• Floor Systems: Excellent for floor joists in both residential and commercial buildings, providing a firm and stable base.
• Timber Framing & Stud Walls: Forms part of the primary structural framework, offering robust support.
• Decking Subframes: Suitable for external decking joists and support structures (above ground) due to its preservative treatment.
• General Carcassing: Used in extensions, loft conversions, and other framing jobs requiring high-strength timber.
