Design and Specification of Timber
Choice of finished dimensions is an important element in reducing wastage and therefore cost, significant quantities of good quality timber are wasted in shavings and offcuts for the sake of a minor adjustment in finished sizes. SYKES TIMBER can give advice regarding standard "nominal" sizes and suitable "finished" equivalents.
Recent research into secondary species and lesser grades suggests that many timbers can be used with greater economy using trees that are usually ignored and secondary log lengths or even forest thinnings to maximise timber yield. We have added Koto, a secondary West African timber, to our extensive range of hardwoods.
Increasing use of laminated timber sections can also increase the design possibilities, structural suitability and final appearance of timber. We are able to laminate thicknesses and widths to build up sections as required.
