38 x 50mm KD 4RC Pressure Treated (PEFC Certified), 4.8m [10C]
Carcassing stock section sizes
We keep large quantities of 38mm battening and 47mm carcassing. Incoming deliveries from Scandinavia are received on a regular basis. Please note that because the imported timber is regularised and planed all-round most of our timber is now 44mm, we continue to use the 47mm terminology because that is what the building trade calls this product.
Our carcassing timber stocks are environmentally certificated, unless marked otherwise. We sell both FSC and PEFC certified timber. Both organisations are dedicated to promoting sustainable forest management. The process includes independent timber audits and third-party certification
Carcassing batten lengths
Most of our carcassing timbers are stocked at multiples of 600mm intervals, that is 3.0m, 3.6m, 4.2m, 4.8m, 5.4m and 6.0m. However because 38 x 50 is a more "specialist" timber it only needs to be stocked at 4.8 metres length.
Our carcassing timbers are Kiln Dried (KD) which gives them better stability than unseasoned timber. It is easier and more pleasant to handle than most sawn carcassing. The finish is very similar to CLS timber. All of our carcassing timbers, with the exception of some CLS, is supplied pressure treated.
Popular uses for carcassing includes studwork and counter-battening. If the timbers are exposed then further measures (usually breathable membrane) must be taken to prolong service life. Please note that Ronseal End Grain protector for cross cuts in joists should be used on drillwd holes or cross-cuts in the timber.
Other carcassing timbers - 75mm
Additionally we also keep stocks of 75mm timbers in popular sizes, 75 x 100mm (4x3), 75 x 150mm (6x3), 75 x 175mm (7x3), 75 x 200mm (8x3) and 75 x 225mm (9x3). Carcassing lengths for 75mm width timbers are normally stocked at 3.6m, 4.8m and 6.0m.
