Premium Timber Purlins for Any Project

Whether you’re a trade professional or a DIY enthusiast, our premium timber purlins provide the strength and reliability your project demands. These structural wood beams are essential for supporting roofs and frameworks, and we ensure you get the best quality and service – from local expert advice in the South West to fast delivery across the UK.

Key Features & Benefits:

  • ISO9001-Certified Treatment: Every timber purlin is pressure treated in-house at our ISO9001-accredited facility for maximum durability. This rigorous process penetrates deep into the wood, guarding against rot, fungus and insect attack.

  • CE Marked & Strength Graded: Our timber purlins are CE-certified and graded to at least C16 (structural carcassing quality), ensuring dependable load-bearing performance for roofing and framing. (Higher C24 grade available on request for special applications.)

  • Wide Range of Sizes: Find the right fit for any job – we stock purlin sizes from 100 x 75 mm (4 x 3″) up to 200 x 75 mm (8 x 3″), along with intermediate sizes like 125 x 75 mm (5 x 3″), 150 x 75 mm (6 x 3″), 175 x 63 mm (7 x 2.5″) and 175 x 75 mm (7 x 3″) – all in ample stock for immediate supply.

  • Same-Day Collection (South West): Need it today? We offer same-day pick-up from our Somerset yard for in-stock items. Pop in and collect your timber purlins at your convenience, with friendly local service for customers across Somerset and the South West.

  • Fast Nationwide Delivery: No matter where your site is, we deliver. Our high stock levels and dedicated fleet mean we dispatch orders quickly for rapid delivery UK-wide – helping keep your project on schedule.

  • Bulk Trade Pricing: Working on a large project or buying in volume? We provide discounted bulk rates for trade orders and regular customers, so you get great value on big jobs. Trade accounts are welcome, making repeat ordering and invoicing straightforward.

  • Expert Support & Advice: Unsure what size or spec you need? Our knowledgeable team has decades of experience in construction timber. We’re on hand with expert advice for both DIY and professional builds, ensuring you choose the right purlins. Trade account holders also enjoy dedicated support for any queries or technical guidance.

Quality You Can Trust – Treated & Certified Timber

Colour Clad’s timber purlins are built to last. We start with high-grade carcassing timber that is strength-graded to C16 for structural use, meaning it meets British standards for load-bearing applications. Each purlin is then high-pressure treated (tanalised) in our own treatment plant under strict ISO 9001 quality control. This in-house pressure treatment (Use Class 3 for external above-ground timber) infuses the wood with preservative, protecting it against weathering, wood decay, and insect damage for many years. Unlike some suppliers who offer vague assurances, we provide fully CE-marked timber that complies with all relevant building regulations – giving you documented peace of mind on site. When you buy from us, you’re getting timber purlins that are professionally treated, certified for structural use, and ready to perform in even the most demanding conditions.

Versatile Sizes for Every Application

No two projects are the same. That’s why we stock a wide range of timber purlin sizes so you can find the perfect fit for your needs. From our smallest 100 x 75 mm (4 × 3″) purlins ideal for sheds and small garages, up to the beefy 200 x 75 mm (8 × 3″) sections suited to large agricultural barns and industrial units, we have you covered. Intermediate sizes like 125 x 75 mm (5 × 3″), 150 x 75 mm (6 × 3″), 175 x 63 mm (7 × 2.5″) and 175 x 75 mm (7 × 3″) are perfect for mid-sized structures, workshops, stables, and extension projects. All our timber purlins come in generous lengths (including common 15 ft and 16 ft lengths) to span across rafters or bays with fewer joints. This versatility means DIY builders and contractors alike can use Colour Clad purlins for a huge variety of applications – not just as roof purlins, but also for floor joists, wall studs, garage builds, lean-tos, pergolas, and general structural framing. Each piece offers impressive strength and stability, so you can design with confidence knowing your roof or frame is solidly supported by the correct timber members.

South West Service with Nationwide Reach

As a Somerset-based supplier, we take pride in offering a local, personalised service to our customers in the South West of England (Somerset, Devon, Cornwall, Dorset and beyond). Our team understands the needs of regional farmers, builders, and DIYers – whether it’s replacing weathered barn purlins or constructing a new stable block, we’re here to help with local expertise and prompt stock availability. If you’re nearby, you can take advantage of our same-day collection service: order your timber purlins and pick them up from our Somerset depot the very same day, so you can get on with the job without delay. But our reach doesn’t stop at the local level – with our own delivery fleet and logistics partners, we ship nationwide at speed. From the South West to South East, Midlands to the North, we’ve got the UK covered. We know construction schedules can be tight, so we make it a priority to get your order on the road and to your site as fast as possible. Many orders arrive within a couple of working days (or even next-day for certain areas), ensuring your project keeps moving forward. By combining friendly local service with rapid UK-wide delivery, Colour Clad offers the best of both worlds to every customer.

Dedicated Trade Support and Bulk Savings

Colour Clad Profiles is committed to building lasting relationships with trade customers. We maintain high stock levels of all timber purlin sizes specifically so builders and contractors can rely on us as a one-stop shop, even for large quantities. Bulk purchasing is straightforward and cost-effective – volume discounts are available, meaning the more you buy, the more you save. If you’re a trade customer managing multiple projects or a large development, ask about our trade accounts: we offer flexible credit terms and a dedicated account manager to make sourcing materials hassle-free. Our expert staff are always ready with advice, too. Not sure how many purlins you need for a given roof span? Confused about the difference between C16 and C24 timber for a particular job? We’re just a phone call away with the answers. We can guide you on best practices (for example, spacing of purlins or how to join purlins with cleats) and provide any technical data you require. This level of support sets us apart – unlike some competitors who provide minimal info, we’re keen to share our knowledge so you can get the job done right first time. In short, when you partner with Colour Clad, you get more than just quality timber; you get a supportive team invested in your success.
