First launched in 2023, TDUK has been continually adding new resources ever since, and there are now more than 100 Timber Knowledge Sheets covering a huge range of timber topics. Some of the latest publications include: • Timber Decking • Timber Cladding • Passive Fire Protection • Timber Acoustic Regulations...
Depending on its natural durability and desired end use, timber and timber products may benefit from extra protection offered through preservative treatment.
As winter approaches, merchants should make sure you have sufficient stock of fence panels so that customers can fulfil any repair work if the UK faces heavy storms over the coming months.
Adhesives, finishes, and preservatives are a significant factor in the strength, durability, and appearance of timber products. However, their use can impact human health and the environment, requiring care in their specification.
This guide, designed for timber and builders' merchants, offers a simple introduction to timber and timber products that could prove useful for new merchant staff.
