Composite Timber

Timber is a versatile building material used in construction, furniture, and flooring. It provides structural support and aesthetic appeal. When choosing timber, consider the type of project, required strength, and desired appearance. Hardwoods like oak are ideal for durability, while softwoods like pine are cost-effective for general use.

Timber is selected based on its intended use, durability, and appearance. Consider whether you need hardwood or softwood. Hardwoods offer strength and longevity; softwoods are lighter and easier to work with. Ensure the timber meets your project's specifications for moisture content and treatment.

Timber is often treated to enhance its resistance to decay, insects, and weathering. Treated timber lasts longer in outdoor or damp environments. When buying timber for external projects, ensure it has been pressure-treated or chemically treated for longevity.

Timber is maintained by regular cleaning, sealing, and inspecting for damage. Use appropriate wood cleaners and finishes to protect the surface from moisture and UV rays. Regular maintenance extends the life of your timber products, keeping them looking their best over time.

Timber is available in various standard sizes, typically measured in millimetres or inches. Common dimensions include 2x4″ for framing or 1x6″ for decking. Always check the specific size requirements for your project before purchasing to ensure a proper fit without unnecessary waste.
