Timber and wood

Find structural timber, reclaimed wood, boards, cladding, flooring, CLT, and glulam from UK suppliers with sourcing and sustainability evidence.

Timber can provide renewable structure, finishes, and long-lived carbon storage when it is responsibly sourced and used in an appropriate assembly. Species, grade, treatment, moisture content, durability, and provenance all affect whether a product is suitable.

What to compare before specifying

  1. Source and chain of custody

    Check species, country or region of origin, FSC or PEFC claims where relevant, and whether certification applies to the specific product and supplier chain.

  2. Grade, moisture, and durability

    Match strength class, moisture content, treatment, and natural durability to the structural role, exposure, detailing, and intended service life.

  3. Carbon and circularity

    Distinguish biogenic storage from fossil emissions, check the EPD modules reported, and consider reclaimed supply, repair, reuse, and end-of-life assumptions.

Frequently asked questions

Does FSC or PEFC certification make timber low carbon?

Certification can provide evidence about forest management and chain of custody, but it is not a complete carbon assessment. Manufacturing energy, transport, treatment, waste, service life, and end-of-life scenarios still matter.

Is reclaimed timber always preferable to new timber?

Reclaimed timber can avoid new extraction and preserve existing material value, but it still needs to meet requirements for condition, dimensions, contaminants, grading, traceability, and installation. The best choice depends on the intended use.

What should I confirm before specifying structural timber?

Confirm species, strength class, service class, dimensions and tolerances, moisture content, treatment, fire strategy, connections, certification, and the engineer's project-specific requirements.
