Delivery to Elgin: what helps

Sheets come in packs on the lorry bed, crane-lifted or hand-offloaded. Elgin is in an area where deliveries are priced individually because of the distance and access, so we quote each order separately.

• Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
• Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
• Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.

OSB, MDF & Chipboard: choosing well

OSB or plywood?

OSB3 is usually cheaper and fine for most structural decking in humid conditions. Plywood is stiffer, takes fixings near edges better and performs better where it may get wet.

Which flooring?

P5 chipboard flooring is the standard moisture-resistant floor deck. 18 mm is common at 400 mm joist centres and 22 mm at 600 mm centres, but follow the maker's span table.

Working out quantities for your Elgin job

Decking 15 m² with 2440 × 1220 mm sheets takes 6 sheets including 10% for cutting. In P5 chipboard flooring (2400 × 600 mm) the same floor takes 12 boards.

Common questions from Elgin

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Elgin?

There is no fixed minimum. For very small orders we will tell you honestly if the delivery cost outweighs the materials, so you can decide.

What is OSB3?

OSB3 is oriented strand board graded for load-bearing use in humid conditions under BS EN 300. It is the common grade for floors, roofs and sheathing.

Can I add other materials to my Elgin delivery?

Yes. Put everything on one list, from OSB, MDF and chipboard to fixings and PPE, and we will price it as one delivery where the products can travel together.

Is MDF waterproof?

No. Moisture-resistant MDF handles humid rooms better than standard MDF but must still be sealed and kept out of direct water.
