6x2 Treated Timber C24 Regularised Sawn Joist 47x150mm - 4.2m

Our 6x2 C24 Timber Joists undergo a kiln-drying process to ensure optimal straightness and durability. Made with responsibly sourced, high-quality timber from FSC Certified forests, these joists are designed with smoothed edges for convenient handling. Sized at 47x150mm (with a finished size approximately 45x145mm), they are 4.2m long. 

• FSC Certified
• For use in timber framing, decking and roofing
• Graded to C24 strength grade
• Regularised for uniform size, with eased corners
• Kiln Dried for additional strength and durability
• Conforms to BS 4978 and EN 14081:2006

What is 6x2 Timber in mm?

While "6x2" in inches translates to 47x150mm in metric measurements, the specific dimensions of our 6x2 Timber in mm are slightly smaller due to the regularisation process. This process involves machining the length to ensure consistent width and thickness throughout, resulting in a size that is slightly reduced from the initial measurements.

Consequently, the "finished" size tends to be slightly smaller, usually around 45mm x 145mm rather than the initial 47x150mm measurements. This slight difference is typically insignificant in the majority of projects and is a common characteristic when using 6x2 regularised timber joists.

What are 6x2 Treated Timber Joists Used For?

6x2, C24 treated timber joists, are well-suited for a variety of applications, including roofing, flooring, house framing, and deck framing due to their particularly strong bend strength. Treated to resist moisture and pests, they are ideal for both indoor and outdoor projects, offering versatility and durability across a multitude of applications.

What is Regularised Timber?

Regularised timber undergoes mechanical finishing to achieve consistent and uniform dimensions along its entire length. This process ensures a smooth and even finish, resulting in a finished size slightly smaller by a few millimeters. Commonly used in structural components such as joists, studs, and framing materials, regularised timber ensures consistency, streamlining assembly processes and ensuring accurate fittings.

What Does Kiln Dried Mean?

Kiln-dried wood undergoes a process wherein the timber is placed inside a kiln to lower its moisture content to a specific level. Controlled heat and airflow within the kiln to expedite and standardise the drying process, effectively minimising problems like warping, cracking, and fungal growth in the wood.

What Lengths Do 6x2 C24 Timber Joists Come in?

Our6x2 Timber joists are available in 2.4m, 3m, 3.6m, 4.2m 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 a commonly used grade of timber in the UK. The "C" denotes the wood type (coniferous), while the number signifies its bend strength, with C24 possessing greater strength compared to C16.

Renowned for its robustness and ability to handle heavy loads, C24 timber is most commonly used for rigorous structural applications. It is frequently used construction projects that demand sturdy timber, especially for larger spans, heavy loads, or scenarios requiring exceptional structural resilience. C24 timber is often favoured for critical elements such as roof trusses, beams, and other essential structural components due to its emphasis on elevated strength and durability.

Do I Need Treated 6x2 Timber?

Our 6x2 Treated timber is versatile and well-suited for various purposes, particularly in projects prone to moisture or potential pest issues. Its treatment makes it suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications, demonstrating adaptability across a broad spectrum of projects.
