What is 6x2 Timber in mm?

The designation "6x2" in inches translates to 47x150mm in metric measurements. However, the actual size of 6x2 Timber in mm is slightly reduced due to the regularisation process applied to our structural timber. Regularisation involves machining the length to achieve a consistent width and thickness throughout.

As a result, the "finished" size might be a few millimeters smaller than 47x150mm, typically closer to 45mm x 145mm. This minor variance is generally insignificant in the majority of projects and is a standard characteristic of using 6x2 regularised timber joists.

What are 6x2 Treated Timber Joists Used For?

The larger size of 6x2 timber joists and its stronger, C24 strength grading makes 6x2 timber joists ideal for use in roofing and flooring applications, house framing and deck framing, amongst other uses. Due to the nature of its treatment against moisture and pests,  6x2 Treated Timber Joists are suitable for use in both internal and outdoor projects.

What is Regularised Timber?

Regularised timber is timber that is mechanically finished to achieve consistent and uniform measurements throughout the length. This method guarantees a smooth and uniform finish, and means the finished size of a length is slightly smaller than the given size.

Particularly useful in construction, regularised timber ensures uniformity in structural elements like joists, studs, and framing materials, streamlining assembly processes and ensuring precise fits in building projects.

What Does Kiln Dried Mean?

Kiln-dried refers to a process in which timber or wood is placed inside a kiln in order to reduce the moisture content of the wood to a specific level. The kiln provides controlled heat and airflow, for a faster and more uniform drying process, which helps to minimise issues such as warping, cracking, and fungal growth in the wood. 

What Lengths Do 6x2 C24 Timber Joists Come in?

Our 6x2 Timber joists are available in 2.4m, 3m, 3.6m and 4.8m. We try to keep all of these lengths in stock wherever possible, but on occasions where stock levels or availability in your area is low, we may substitute for a longer length.

What Is C24 Timber?

C24 timber is one of a few grades of timber commonly used in the UK, assessed by their bend strength. C24 denotes a higher strength grade compared to C16 timber. The "C" signifies the type of wood (coniferous), while the number indicates its bend strength grading.

C24 timber is known for its superior strength and load-bearing capacity, making it suitable for more demanding structural applications. It is commonly used in construction projects that require timber with higher strength characteristics, such as in larger spans, heavy loads, or situations where increased structural resilience is necessary. C24 timber is often chosen for applications like roof trusses, beams, and other structural components where enhanced strength and durability are essential.
