47mm x 150mm Sawn Treated Timber C24 (6″ x 2″) 2.4m Applications

6×2 treated timber, also known as 150×50 carcassing timber, is a staple in the construction industry.

C24 timber, being stronger and more durable than C16, is commonly used for carcassing purposes, such as joists in roofing or flooring.

As long as it is treated, C24 timber is suitable for external applications, making it ideal for decking, external buildings, and more.

Here are some examples of how 6×2 timber lengths can be utilized:

• Flooring
• Stud walls
• Roofing – rafters/joists in a loft floor
• Walling
• Decking joists – capable of handling heavier loads compared to ungraded or lower-grade timber like C16
• Carcassing timber in floor joists
• Garden furniture and other outdoor projects

What is C24 Timber?

The term “C24 grade” refers to timber of higher quality compared to C16. C24 timber is a premium choice that can withstand heavier loads and wider spans.

Only timber imported from regions where weather conditions necessitate slower growth rates (resulting in a tighter grain) achieves the C24 grade.
