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?

CNC Cutting,Sheets,Timber — Tags: , , , — Booker Timber @ 9:34 am

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. This means that if you are a tradesman or looking for material within the private sector, everything is becoming more and more expensive.

Here at Booker-Timber, we appreciate that low-cost materials are hard to come by. That is why we work on the principle of saving costs. Our CNC routing and cutting technology ensures that minimal amounts of wood are lost to off cuts, effectively giving us more material to work with. All of our materials are bought from quality assured businesses, therefore giving you, our customer, a quality and cost effective product.

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.

Wood Veneers, The Ideal Material For Domestic Products

Sheets,Veneers — Tags: , , — Booker Timber @ 9:03 am

Although much of the stock at Booker Timber is raw materials, we don’t just shape, cut, and sell the pure wood. As a timber merchant, we recognise the need to provide wood that has been treated/processed, and is ready to use.

Take a look around our website, and you’ll come across our wide range of wood veneers. Given that the process of veneering involves gluing thin slices of wood on to mdf sheets, it may not seem that striking. Choose the right veneer however, add a touch of stain or varnish, and the finished result can be striking.

Because veneers use thin layers of wood, it means that we at Booker Timber, and our woodwork customers, have access not just to the common species, but to the rarer types of wood as well. We sell double sided cut to size mdf veneers in common species, while rarer, more expensive woods are used as one-sided veneers. All the veneers are available in two different size sheets, and in a variety of thicknesses, so you can easily find a veneer to suit your door, cabinet top, or flooring project.

Here at Booker Timber, our stock includes steamed beech, pine, oak, am maple, sycamore, and chestnut. We also have birch, ash, cherry, am black walnut, and q/c sapele. Although we have a large range of wood veneers in stock, all sourced from sustainable forests, we also offer a bespoke service, and will try and source your chosen species of wood veneer.
