Products

We handle circa 200,000m3 of quality imported timber per annum and have one of the UK's largest stock-holding facilities. We primarily import:

Whitewood (Picea Abies) from Scandinavia, North America and the Baltic regions.
Redwood (Pinus Sylvestris) from Finland and Sweden.

We offer an extensive range of top quality products at competitive prices:

Re-sawn carcassing

Re-sawn carcassing is one of the most commonly used forms of processed timber, and is suitable for non structural uses, such as general construction, framing and fencing. Our re-sawn carcassing is usually high pressure treated using state of the art treatment process which minimizes any deterioration when used externally. We stock it in a variety of sections as are widely used in the general construction industry.

Structural timber

Structural timber is generally stress graded and regularised in size. It is suitable for the construction of timber frames and floor joists. This product is also available in a rough sawn form. The regularised product is the most popular as it is uniform in size and well presented. This material is usually treated with a low pressure preservative for use above the Damp Proof Course (DPC).

Decking

Decking has great aesthetic potential, with its natural finish and endless design possibilities, letting you make your own statement and breathe new life into your garden space. We offer a wide range of decking, made using only the best European Redwood, all treated to ensure the longevity of your deckboards. Design is straight forward using timber joists, deck boards, posts, handrails, baserails and spindles to create safe and attractive decking areas. See our decking leaflet for more information.

Claddings

We offer a variety of cladding profiles machined in either Western Red Cedar or Siberian Larch from our vast library of profiles. Bespoke profiles are also available on request.

Silktrim MDF Mouldings

JDT's Silktrim is one of the UK's leading brands in MDF mouldings. The range includes architraves, skirtings, window boards, dados & rebated door casings and linings, with specials available on demand. For more information, click on our Silktrim page or see our leaflet.

Softwood Mouldings

As well as MDF mouldings, we manufacture a wide variety of machined sections, from door frames to skirtings and architraves. A range of tongue & grooved profiles are also available.

Clear softwoods

We have available Western Red Cedar, Siberian Larch and Southern Yellow Pine. These products offer an attractive and versatile alternative to Redwood and are used in a variety of joinery applications. The Western Red Cedar and Siberian Larch are very popular from claddings and linings. The Southern Yellow Pine is very popular for staircase manufacture.

CLS

CLS (Canadian Lumbar Standard) is a very popular and widely used product in the construction and house building industry, in both treated and untreated forms. As CLS is planed all round with eased edges, it is very user friendly. We stock CLS in a variety of sizes, including the best-selling lengths of 2.4m and 4.8m.

Laminated Products

We stock both redwood and whitewood laminated products. The lamination process offers stability in the section size and allows the manufacture of wide section sizes that would normally prove troublesome in solid timber form. These sections are popular for window boards and stair manufacture.

Panel Products

We stock a full range of sheet materials, from plywoods to particle boards, including MDF. We offer the full range of products that the construction or joinery manufacturer would require.

Redwood

Sawn Scandinavian Redwood is stocked in a wide variety of section sizes in various qualities, offering joinery manufacturers the ability to specify their specific requirement. This material can of course be converted and machined into a variety of sections on request.

Joinery Whitewood

Joinery Whitewood is commonly selected for its aesthetic qualities rather than its structural merits, and is often used in claddings and stair part manufacture.

Solid American White Oak

We stock a vast range of square planed sections and profiled mouldings in Solid American White Oak, which is an increasingly popular hardwood due to its luxurious and attractive finish.

American White Oak Veneered MDF

We stock an alternative to the solid oak mouldings in MDF. This range of products offers the versatility of the long lengths and reduces the presence of defects that can sometimes be present in the solid product.
