Dear all,
I’m doing a loft conversion and have a query about timber joists for the new loft floor.
I would like to design it like a continuous beam with one intermediate support and, in order to do so, I would need lengths of timber of about 6.3m.
The full specs for the floor joists would be: C24 treated and regularised timber, section 47x170, min length 6.3m.
Is this type of timber readily available from builder’s merchants? Or is it something that would need to be made to order and therefore more expensive / with longer lead times?
What is industry common practice with regard to the type and dimensions of timber being used?
Many thanks for your help,
Max
