We stock a wide range of timbers. Loose Boards
are sold by the running metre and prices are based on the width
and thickness required, while PAR Boards are sold in 2.4m and 3m
boards.
When Hardwood timber is cut from the round it is
produced to random width and length, to maximize the yield from
the log. These boards are then measured and sold on to hardwood
merchants for re-sale. When an end user has a need for instance
of 6" wide board this may in many instances come out of 7"
8" or 9" board, this is termed as "wastage"
and can vary from 20% up to 50%. This is usable material and is
normally costed into the particular project in hand.
Our policy is to achieve a wastage factor
within 40% and this should be borne in mind when ordering Hardwood.
A comparison graph is
displayed for each species giving you an indication of
the value, availability, strength, nailing and gluing
properties of the timber.
