Timber Yard

Your local Timber Yard.

How many times have you walked in to your local DIY super market only to be stared at blankly when you ask for a product line ?

What is a Timber Yard ?

A Timber yard is similar to a builders Merchant however the main difference is that Timber merchants as the name suggests tend to specialise in timber and wooden products. On the other hand a builders merchant will stock a limited supply of usually Tanalised Timber & Timber products a timber merchant will usually be able to offer ALL of your timber supplies.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Advantages of using a Specialist Timber supplier / Merchant

• Timber Merchants will quite often be able to offer very competitive prices on the timber products they specialise in.
• As a customer you are more likely to obtain more product knowledge on the various specialist wooden products that are available within the local market.
• More unusual timber product lines are likely to be stocked in a timber merchant.
• Associated Timber products and tools are more readily available.
• Timber suppliers are Far more likely to hold stocks of hardwoods along with specialist veneered Oak & Plywoods.
• Cutting service is usually on offer in the number of timber suppliers and saw mills.
• Timber Merchants understand WOOD.

 

As time goes by your local timber yard or merchants are becoming fewer & Further between where eventually it is likely that they will become a thing of the past as the large builders merchants swallow them up in net of “ We sell everything “ .

Our opinion and ethos as a timber supplier is to specialise in timber products and leave the building products to the experts.

For more information on specialist timber supplies or to obtain competitive timber prices call our dedicated Timber supplies sales line on 01792 884828. Or visit out Timber yard and Timber design display area.

What Wooden Decking boards ?

 

How do I know which wooden decking boards to purchase ?

This is a question which we get asked throughout the summer months as wooden decking has become a great alternative to patio slabs, grass and your other conventional garden floor options. Here are some tips on decking building.

There are a number of Garden Timber decking ideas with a large range of boards available on the market.

Areas to consider when purchasing a decking board –

 

 

1. Quality of the decking boards – Decking boards vary from 21mm up to 32mm.
2. Treatment – Is the timber decking Tanalised and if so how long should it last.
3. Maintenance – How do I maintain my wooden decking boards.
4. Cost – Cheapest isn’t always the best you need to compare price to quality ratio.
5. Length of decking boards – Less waste the better.
6. Fitting Decking birds – Ask the manufacturer how the decking boards should be fitted.    ( Spacing on Joist / Base Timbers tends to be the most Important aspect).
7. Warranty – Is there a warranty on the decking boards and if so what are the terms and conditions.

 

Our advice

• Contact a number of local timber merchants and ask for decking ideas and advice.
• See the boards for your self.
• Ask for examples of the decking boards after a period of time.
• Work out a plan and price up the Wooden decking to suit your specific needs.
• Find a quality carpenter or tradesman to give a plan to the supplier.

 

If you require any further advice on your Garden Decking projects.

Solid Wood Flooring

 

One of the most commonly asked questions that we get day in day out is “ What Solid wooden flooring options are available” ?

Solid Wood Flooring Options

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1. Solid Wood.
2. Engineered wood.

 

Solid wooden flooring is manufactured using only the Solid Oak or Wood Product, engineered flooring which is an alternative is manufactured using Plywood and a Solid Oak wood veneer. From an aesthetic standpoint both floors come in a vast array of different shapes, sizes and finishes and look the same when fitted.

 

Key facts in choosing your solid wood floor.

 

1. What preference do you have on Wood ? Oak Flooring tends to be the most popular and readily available.
2. What finish do you require, the most common wood floor finishes are Lacquered, Oiled Brushed and Oiled or more commonly UV oiled.
3. Width of the boards ?
4. What length boards ?
5. Do you require a rustic Wood floor finish or a heavily stained finish.
6. Do you like more or less knots. Wooden flooring has been graded, certain floors will include a lot of knots and imperfections other prime grade floors wont include as many knots and shakes.

 

How to fit your Solid wooden floor and what wood floor preparation needs to be carried out.

 

• Solid wood will need to be stuck down using an elasticated wooden flooring adhesive product ( Sika is a good product ).
• It is highly advised that when fitting Solid wood on to concrete a liquid damp proof membrane is used.
• Solid wood flooring is usually Tongue and grooved.
• Use an experienced qualified wood flooring fitter.
• Take moisture readings of areas floor is going to be fitted.

Solid Wood flooring is a beautiful timeless alternative to Tiles and Carpet. Once installed correctly it will last a lifetime. There are a wide number of products available on the market place however if you get an idea of what you are looking for before you start the selection process will be made a lot easier.

D G Heath have been supplying alternatives to Wooden decking for a number of years to the Cardiff & South Wales area. This Maintenance free decking board hosts a number of benefits over the more traditional Wooden Decking alternatives. Millboard is a wood free alternative decking board that tops the list in a number of areas –

• Millboard Decking hosts Excellent Anti-Slip Properties.
• Low Maintenance.
• Resistant to Algae Build up due to the fact that the Plastic Decking is wood free.
• Millboard Decking wont warp or rot like wood.
• Cellular internal structure of Millboard reduces weight of decking planks.

Our Opinion of Plastic Decking

As Timber Merchants we have to admit that even the highest quality Hardwood Decking can be prone to Warp, Fade and loose its original appeal over time. Millboard is crafted using sustainable composite decking materials used for outdoor conditions. Made from Lastane the textured top surface creates a resilient virtually maintenance free Decking layer designed to resist algae and prevent slipping even in wet conditions.

In our opinion if the consumer wishes to purchase a Low maintenance, Anti Slip Hasstle free decking alternative then this is the decking board to purchase.However the customer needs to bear in mind that there is a significant cost difference between the Millboard composite decking and conventional wooden decking. If you wish to see all of the composite & PVC decking products on display they can all be viewed at our display garden in our Swansea Depot South Wales.
