For my Loft conversion I need to strengthen the 3x2 rafters ( which are actually 2 1/4 thick ) ..... with 2inch C16 glued and screwed... the BC has agreed this is ok BUT the timber yard are telling that once they trim the 3 x 2 C16 down to 2 1/4 x 2 then its no longer c16 certified ?
I can't get hold of my BC officer because she's in a meeting all day and I need to order the wood so I can crack on over the weekend.
I can't use standard 2x2 ( normalised ) because its only actually 45mm square and will leave a 1/4 in gap either side of the celotex !!
thoughts ideas welcome please ..
TIA
