Picking the right product

Nominal versus finished size

Planing takes material off, so a timber sold as 'nominal' 2 × 4 finishes smaller. Always check finished sizes when you need an exact fit.

Softwood or MDF trim?

MDF skirting and architrave is very straight and paints well; softwood takes knocks better and can be stained.

Questions about planed timber delivery in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire

What does PAR mean?

Planed all round: the timber has been machined smooth on all four faces.

Why is my 2 × 4 smaller than 2 × 4 inches?

Timber is often named by its sawn size before planing. Once planed, it finishes smaller, so a nominal 2 × 4 is roughly 44 × 94 mm or less.

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire?

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.

Do you deliver planed timber to trades and homeowners in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire?

Both. Trades can apply for a trade account; homeowners and self-builders can order on a delivered quote.
