What is a timber frame stud?

The timber frame stud is a longitudinal piece of wood with a square or rectangular cross-section. Made from solid wood, it is an element designed for the construction of timber-framed structures and walls. The manufacture of timber frame studs requires quality, robust wood species and dry timber.

Timber studs for structure and framing

The timber frame stud is used for the construction, renovation, extension or raising of a house. Timber studs are also used as a decking support structure or as a frame for a carport, pergola, partition walls and door frames. For example, to build a joist framework, opt for studs measuring 45 × 220 mm.

Timber stud for building walls

Available in Douglas pine dried to 18% moisture content (high quality), the timber stud replaces the metal furring strip in the construction of walls and partitions. For interior partitions, studs with a 45 × 95 mm cross-section are recommended. For the peripheral walls of a house, use studs with a 45 × 145 mm cross-section.

How to choose a timber frame stud?

It is first the type of framework that determines the cross-section of the studs. If it is an insulation support structure, take into account the thickness of the insulating materials. Then, the intended mounting application of the studs defines their use class. For external timber frame studs, opt for use class 3b or 4. For building an internal frame, class 2 or 3 studs are suitable.

The purchasing criteria for a timber frame stud

The timber frame stud is a piece of pine or fir timber. Most timber studs have a cross-section ranging from 45 × 45 mm to 45 × 220 mm. The length of timber frame studs ranges between 3 and 6 metres. All timber studs on the market belong to the category of treated or untreated studs.

Timber species for frame studs
