We are able to supply a range of kiln dried timbers suitable for interior use as shelving or in various other applications. This timber can be provided as sawn or planed all-round (smaller dimensions only). In many cases, it is often possible to offer unique wayney-edged timbers, where the non-square edge can add an attractive interior design element to your space.
We can offer kiln-dried timbers at dimensions approximately 225x40mm, 200x50mm, 200x40mm, and 150x40mm, often with a live edge on request. Planed all round boards come in finished sizes of 185x35mm, and 138x35mm. These boards can be supplied for internal use at standard lengths of 1.2m, 1.8m, 2.4m, 3.0m and 3.6m.
All of our planed timbers are cut from larch, Douglas fir, Sitka spruce or western hemlock, grown and sawn in Wales. These timbers, particularly larch and Douglas fir, are chosen for their natural durability and their attractive colour and grain pattern. In order to be suitable for indoor use (i.e. reduce the risk of warping and decay), timbers are dried until they reach moisture contents of less than 18%.
When fresh sawn Douglas fir heartwood has a pink hue, which settles with sun exposure to an orange brown. Conversely larch heartwood, when freshly from the mill has a golden brown heart; this colour deepens over time, becoming a rich orange-brown. Western hemlock and spruce both have a much lighter, white-ish appearance with dark, distinct small knot features.
