Timber Supplies
Tradesmen and companies in the construction industry usually purchase timber supplies although the odd DIY enthusiast is likely to buy his share as well. Timber merchants offer a wide range of timber supplies for almost any purpose:
- timber packs
- timber sawn to size
- beams
- cladding
- decking
- planking
- hardwood flooring
- machined components
Before purchasing vast quantities of timber though it should be ensured that the supplier is a signatory of the Timber Trade Federation’s (TTF) Responsible Purchasing Policy (RPP), which promotes and supports environmental friendliness.
Adhering to this policy means that the timber supplier will have done everything in their power to ensure their stock has been sourced from a sustainable forest and has not simply contributed to already depleted stocks. Timber supplies should also be of a high quality to avoid rotting or other such problems that could cause very disruptive and expensive damage in the future.
