About Timber

Timber and Structure

Carefully selected timber sections are used for a combination of strength, durability, machining flexibility and an ability to accept a wide range of finishes. The timber is naturally resistant to wood rot and fungal attack and the natural oils present in the timber make it resistant to moisture penetration.

• Moisture content – kiln dried to 12-14%
• Strength (Young’s Modulus is a measure of elasticity; the higher the value the greater the strength) – 9300 (for comparison Brazilian Mahogany is 8600 and softwood 7300)
• Specification conformance – hardwood to BS1186*
• Roof wind and snow loading (where required) – satisfies BS6399*

Decorative finishes

• Paint finishes: The timber is treated with three coats of micro-porous paint or two coats of natural stain (factory spray applied) providing a fully finished product. Our fully automated finishing plant provides a high build uniform paint finish.
• Colours:
- choice of 25 standard colours. Option to mix special colours in-house.
- choice of 5 natural wood finishes as standard. Choose from Mahogany, Teak, Walnut, Light Oak and Antique oak
• All stains, paint primers and finishes are micro-porous allowing the timber to breathe naturally
