In order to ensure that rainwater can efficiently drain away from a flat roof, a fall has to be created in the structure. Firring strips, otherwise known as furring strips are used to accurately angle water into guttering and drainage systems, helping to maintain the integrity of the roof and avoidpooling and flooding.
Our furring strips are sustainablysourcedand have been treated to ensure longevity and weather protection once installed. You can order in a variety of different sizes to suit your project requirements.
What are timber firrings?
Timber firrings are thin strips of timber that feature diagonal cuts along the length of the batten, enabling it to taper, so that one end has a deeper end than the other. When a flat roof is being constructed, you use timber firrings to create a fall, which allows the water to run to the lower side of the roof. In most cases, timber firrings will have a fall of 1:40, although the final minimum fall may be 1:80 once on-site inaccuracies are considered.
What kind of wood is a firring strip?
Timber firring pieces are usually made from softwoodssuch as pine; this ensures they are easy to attach and fix into position. Ours are carefully machined from premium construction timbers here in the UK.
Firrings are usually cut in pairs, and to minimise waste, pieces on either side of the cut line are used. Cutting the treated timber in this way can expose the heart of the wood, which may not have received a full charge of preservative treatment; we therefore always recommend that any cut faces are treated to prevent any future issues.
What size are timber firrings?
Flat roof firrings are cut using specialist equipment, with a few different sizes available. Timber firrings with a 4.8m area size (4800mm x 100mm) are the most common types used for flat roof construction.
Can firrings run across joists?
You can fix tapered timber firrings across joints to create the fall, providing they are set level so that the ceiling is even before any boards are laid.

FAQ
All of our C16 and C24 graded timber is regularised
Regularised timber is timber that has been processed to have a uniform shape and size. This means that the wood has been sawn and planed to remove any irregularities and ensure that each piece of wood has consistent dimensions. Regularised timber is often used in construction, particularly in the framing of buildings, as it is easier to work with and can be more efficiently installed than irregularly shaped timber.
We have one of the largest ranges of timber lengths, dimensions and grades available to buy online.
The variation you require will determine the exact lead time and delivery method.
Most orders arrive within 3-4 days, the maximum is 7 days. Please get in touch before you order if you need a specifc delivery date.
Delivery charges vary by postcode. To find out the delivery charge, add the item(s) you require to your basket and select CALCULATE SHIPPING at the bottom of the page.
Some orders are delivered on our own vehicles based in Leicestershire and Cheshire. We also use carriers including Yodel and Tuffnells. For some sizes and locations we use regional distributors.
If you'd prefer crane offloading rather than tail lift vehicle offloading for your brick order then this service is available for the majority of bricks that we sell. Charges are shown at checkout.
For deliveries of less than 6 packs then Taillift offloading is normally a more cost effective option
