Thanks to our state of the art sawmill and our highly trained and knowledgeable team; The Timber Co-operative Ltd is able to provide a wide range of carcassing and structural timbers cut to our customers requirements. We are also able to structurally grade timbers and issue a UKCA declaration of conformity, providing high quality pieces of Welsh wood with the assurance that they will stand the test of time.
If you require timber for exterior building purposes or in replacement of treated or UC3/UC4 timbers please ensure you ask for A Grade. A grade timbers are pure heartwood or larch and Douglas fir, and will far outlast treated alternatives. If you require structurally graded timbers, please ask for UKCA certified.
Although we are able to custom cut on request, our more standard products are as follows:
75 x 50mm
100 x 50mm
150 x 50mm
200 x 50mm
75 x 75mm
100 x 100mm
150 x 150mm
200 x 200mm
None of our timber is treated, the reasons for this are manifold: We don’t believe that the benefits of the current, legally allowed treatment are sufficient to balance the environmental impact of use of poisonous chemicals. Most coniferous species accept treatment very poorly, this is well known in the timber industry, but not widely acknowledged. It is a simple matter to cut a piece of treated timber and see that the “protection” there is barely skin deep.
Because of these factors we only buy and supply naturally durable species; like spruce they too accept treatment poorly, so instead of wasting resources on a thing we know not to work – we simply supply the right timber for the right job.
