When Plywood is Better than Solid Wood

Timber — Tags: , , , — Booker Timber @ 11:42 am

As any timber merchant will tell you, selecting the right timber is half the battle. Different timbers and timber materials have different properties and they’ll behave differently under almost any given set of circumstances. Some materials are more resistant to damp and insect pests, some are stronger, heavier, or can handle extreme heat better than others.

Plywood sheets have several features worth noting. The first is that they are cheap and easy to produce. When price is the first concern, many builders and carpenters look to plywood first of all. It’s also very light in weight. It may seem strange to say it now, when so many of us travel in huge metal aeroplanes, but many World War II fighter planes were made with plywood.

Flexibility is also key. The layers in a piece of plywood are glued together, and the end result tends to flex rather than snap or crack under pressure. Because different woods are often used to make a single sheet, characteristics like strength, flexibility, and weight can be engineered quite precisely. Not all plywoods were created equal, or to do the same job.

Solid timber can crack, shrink, or warp over time, especially in hot or damp conditions. Plywood is resistant to warping and there are varieties that are constructed especially for use in wet environments. We can supply a wide range of plywoods and associated products, and our plywood cutting technology is second to none. Booker Timber can provide the ready-shaped materials for roofing, furniture, and much more.

The best way to ensure that your upcoming DIY or building projects are the best they can be is by finding respectable and enthusiastic merchants for the basic materials, such as timber. At Booker Timber, we aim to provide beautiful quality timber and an efficient timber cutting service to all of our customers.

Whether you need cut to size MDF or something more substantial, we can provide Chain of Custody certified timber for the job; high quality and sourced in an environmentally-friendly manner. We make a conscious effort to be an ecologically responsible company, minimising waste by implementing careful design and planning. This planning can save you money too, keeping the amount of chipboard that you might need, for example, as low as possible.

We are able to achieve this thanks to our CNC beam saws, which are amongst the UK’s largest of their kind. They have the capacity to process large volumes of timber at one time, cutting to within 0.1mm accuracy. Operated by our experienced staff and programmed using clever software, these precise saws allow us to make the most out of each sheet cutting, even when producing seemingly awkward shapes.

Our services are priced competitively and we pride ourselves on our efficient, accurate, environmentally-friendly timber cutting and packaging. We can also cut free issue timber and are happy to offer advice upon the benefits of different varieties of wood for those embarking on a DIY or construction project which is outside their usual realm of knowledge.
