Cost Savings with Booker Timber

CNC Cutting,Sheets,Timber — Tags: , , , — Booker Timber @ 9:53 am

Cut-to-size MDF and chipboard can be ideal material solutions for both tradesmen and DIY enthusiasts as their versatility, strength and ease of use make them the perfect choice for a wide range of trade related tasks and DIY jobs. Similarly, plywood like materials can also be very handy as they are very strong and durable.

Certainly, if you are a relatively accomplished artisan, it is quite possible to make very attractive furniture pieces out of such materials – after all, much of the so called “flat-pack” furniture available to buy these days is made of man-made wood.

However, with the economy still staggering and the Government’s austerity measures now starting to bite; many people are now finding it difficult to find enough cash to undertake even the most modest of building projects or DIY tasks. Indeed, with trade prices rising across the board, everything from tools to raw materials is now more expensive than ever before.

Here at Booker-Timber, we know how hard low-cost materials are to come by these days and that is why we do everything we can to save on costs. To this end, our state-of-the-art CNC routing and cutting equipment ensures that we lose minimal amounts of wood, thereby creating more cost-efficient operations which deliver direct cost benefits to our customers. Furthermore, all of our materials are bought from quality assured businesses, so our customers can be sure that the product they receive is not only high in quality but also cost-effective too.

Need Cheap Wood?

With the recession hitting us hard, everything is becoming more and more expensive and more difficult to afford. Not only are trade prices rising on tools, but also on the raw materials.

Cut to size MDF or chipboards are perfect for both the trade and private industries. A versatile material, strong and easy to use, MDF sheets can be used in many ways. They are perfect for most DIY jobs around the house, for instance using cut to size MDF when insulating up in the rafters.

Many plywood like materials can also be very handy for creating cheap shelving or cupboard solutions. Due to their strong and durable nature, these types of boards are best used in places like the utility room, or the garage. However, if you are confident at getting a quality finish on the product, you can easily make a good looking piece of furniture out of MDF. After all, most flat-pack furniture is some type of man-made wood.

Information on MDF

Sheets,Timber — Tags: , , — Booker Timber @ 9:24 am

MDF has been in mass production now since the 1980’s. It is used predominantly in the DIY scene, as it has many advantages over natural wood. The biggest of these advantages being price. As MDF is man-made, there is no waiting for the tree to grow, or process of drying the timber, which means that costs are kept low. MDF is used mainly as a cheap substitute for wood, but with the right cut and finish, can have a good effect.

MDF, also known as Medium Density Fibreboard is an engineered wood product made by breaking down either hardwood or softwood residuals, mixing them with wax and resin to produce a versatile board material. MDF has many advantages and disadvantages due to its manmade nature.

Home MDF cutting can be frustrating. The fibrous nature of MDF means that it can be susceptible to splitting when having a generic saw taken to it. Also, MDF does not react well with screws or nails, so advice is generally given to use strong wood glues or araldite for fixing purposes. MDF sheets are a very versatile material however, and any workman or keen DIYer should have experience with this material.

MDF is generally used in similar ways that old plywood and other man made wood products are used. However MDF tends to be stronger, and as it is denser, it can tend to be much more durable. These properties make it the perfect substance for using at home or in the commercial sector.

The Advantages Of CNC Cutting

CNC Cutting,Sheets,Timber — Tags: , , — Booker Timber @ 9:48 am

Although the construction industry has all kinds of technology, skills, and equipment at its disposal, when it comes to wood, you sometimes need to employ the services of a good timber supplier. Timber suppliers can not only supply raw materials, but also use cnc cutting machines, to provide you with the right size, and finish of product.

Using Computer Numerical Control (CNC) is almost like printing out some work on a computer, except instead of ink and paper, we’re using a cutting tool and wood. The benefits of this are threefold. We can deal with large sheets of wood, and cut in a way that reduces wastage and saves you money. Our work also involves either cut to size mdf or other wood, or cutting and shaping to the design you supply, with all the settings sent from computer to the cutting machine.

This can be ideal for domestic products, such as decorative furniture and wall panelling. It’s an accurate and high speed way of routing and cutting that can be used for not only wood, but plastic and mdf as well.

Booker Timber deal with large and small orders, for a variety of different industries, from aerospace to packaging. Along with precise cutting services, we can also offer timber supplies, such as real wood veneers, plywood sheets, and self-assembly raised bed kits, for gardens and nurseries. To find out more about CNC cutting, and what the technology can do, visit us online, or call us for quotations and advice.

Timber that is Environmentally and Economically Sound

Cutting News,Sheets,Timber — Tags: , , , , — Booker Timber @ 9:00 am

When you ask people in Britain what their two chief concerns are right now, most of them will answer you with ‘the economy’ and ‘the environment’. Indeed, economic growth has been much slower than hoped and the major industrial nations of the world are still dragging their heels with regard to the environment.

Sourcing timber
The state of economy and concern for the environment is very much in the mind of many companies that need to source timber for their operations. These companies generally have less money in their budgets than they once did and know that their customers will insist that the timber they use must be environmentally friendly in both its sourcing and its operations.

Thankfully, help is at hand

Precision cutting
We here at Booker Timber are timber merchants who understand the concerns of businesses and consumers alike. Our environmental awareness and cost-effective operations means that we can provide a fast and professional service that delivers accurate results with eco-friendly timber.
Our hi-tech optimisation software enables us to calculate the most efficient way to cut all kinds of materials, from cut to size chipboard to MDF sheets. This precision cutting means that not only is the amount of waste for each order considerably reduced, but also that customers may well require less boards to complete their order. Happily, the consequences of this are that both the planet and our customers’ budgets get a much needed helping hand.
