Is this expensive for partition wall battens
I have been quoted this for 2 x 2 wood for building a partition wall....
47 X 50 MM WHITEWOOD OFF SAW TREATED 48.00 £77.02 100 M £36.97 I think the above means 48M charged at £77 per 100M rate =£36.97 Question ..does it have to be treated? or should I be able to use something cheaper? The wall will be this size... Wall width (9ft 8inches 2 x lengths) Floor ceiling height (9ft 9 inches x 8 lengths) |

NT 2x2 for a partition wall is very slender. If skimmed it'll pop bits of the skim off, and either way it'll conduct sound terribly unless you take effective soundproofing measures. 2x4 is more usual. http://wiki.diyfaq.org.uk/index.php?...oise_reduction NT |

If you slap some wet plaster roughly on the back of the front PB sheets you'll get a more solid feel to it. NT |

Failing that, Kiln Dried Sawn will be next cheapest. Question ..does it have to be treated? or should I be able to use something cheaper? No need for treated in most cases...

Not a problem if starting fresh, but can cause grief when adding to existing studwork that is a few mm wider. -- Cheers, John. /================================================== ===============\ | Internode Ltd - http://www.internode.co.uk | |-----------------------------------------------------------------| | John Rumm - john(at)internode(dot)co(dot)uk | \================================================= ================/ |
