crispy_wafer Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 I like timber, as at least if/when I get it wrong then it's going to keep me warm... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the metal/MF robust enough for this (I am basing my query on the flimsy partition stuff I have seen in office refurbishments over the years which wouldn't support floors) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markc Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 If it’s a structural wall then I would be using whatever the SE specifies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SE doesn't specifiy whether treated or not, hence the OP Untreated is my preference purely from a cost perspective, and it seems logical to me (but never let logic get in the way of a good building reg!!)

JohnMo Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 Would have thought if it's structural, it would be graded C16 or C24, not bog standard CLS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
