Reliable Internal Protection – thanks to UC2 pressure treatment
UC2 treatment involves pressure impregnation of a preservative to protect timber used above ground inside buildings, reducing susceptibility to decay and insect attack. The treatment is specified for internal carcassing and studwork where exposure to weather is not expected.
Peace of mind when installing stud walls and internal frames because battens resist rot and pests. Long-term performance is improved compared with untreated softwood in the same applications.
Easy to Work With – with rough sawn 25 x 50mm British softwood
Rough sawn faces and a standard 25 x 50mm section allow straightforward cutting, drilling and screwing with common woodworking tools. Cut ends should be resealed using a woodcare treatment after modification.
Faster on-site installation for partitions, shelving and carcassing, since battens cut and fix cleanly. Resealing cut ends maintains treatment protection and maximises lifespan.
Better Coverage per Pack – with 12 x 1.2m lengths (14.4m total)
Pack includes twelve 1.2m lengths for a combined 14.4 metres of battening, which increases material on-site compared with typical 10-packs. The uniform length simplifies planning for repetitive runs.
Fewer trips to store and less jointing for short runs, helpful for tradespeople and DIY projects. Bulk format suits multiple small jobs or a single larger partition.
