Timber

The Timber Frame Company uses sustainably sourced timber for all our frames.  We support the Forestry Stewardship Council and PEFC schemes by purchasing accredited oak, larch and Douglas fir from sustainable sources wherever possible.

We have our own qualified structural timber graders who verify that our products meet the current British Standards and that the best timbers are selected.  The fresh timber is sawn to order by our affiliated sawmills.

  • Following approval from the parties involved, the timber will be ordered and sawn to order.
  • The timber is itemised and delivered to the carpentry yard.
  • On delivery the timber is checked for defects, and sorted into stacks.
