Source plywood sheets the responsible way

Sheets — Tags: , , — Booker Timber @ 2:03 pm

In the past, companies did not generally focus strongly on being environmentally friendly when they were sourcing plywood sheets and other such provisions. However, over more recent years, the emphasis placed on green issues has grown considerably stronger and now it is seen as an issue of the upmost importance.

So, if your firm is looking to purchase wood, you might well have such considerations in mind. After all, it is not only your conscience you have to contend with but also those of your customers. These days, many consumers alter their buying behaviour according to the green status of businesses.

This means your bottom line may suffer if you disregard the opportunities available to become more environmentally sound.

If you source your wood from a timber merchant such as us here at Booker Timber, you can rest assured you will not face any such problems. We can proudly state that we have achieved Chain of Custody certification

Chain of Custody certified forests are managed to ensure long-term timber supplies while also protecting the environment and lives of forest-dependant people.

You can therefore be sure that when you get cut to size chipboard or plywood sheets from us, or indeed any other product, you are not buying irresponsibly sourced materials. If you want to find out more about this issue, you can simply have a look at the relevant section of our website.

Guaranteed accuracy with CNC cutting

CNC Cutting — Tags: , , — Booker Timber @ 1:58 pm

If you want to order cut to size chipboard and other such provisions, you are no doubt seeking accuracy. After all, if the items you receive are not quite the right size or shape, you may not be able to use them, or you might have to send them back to the manufacturer for adjustment. All of this takes time and effort and it may cause you to miss deadlines.

The problem is that often companies claim they are capable of providing the necessary level of precision when in fact they are not. This might be because the team involved lack the necessary skill and experience, or because they have to make do with inadequate tools.

However, here at Booker Timber there are no such problems. Over the years, we have invested in a full range of hi-tech machinery, as well as a fantastic workforce, meaning we are able to provide you with the upmost level of accuracy.

For example, we use state of the art computer numerical controlled (CNC) machinery coupled with powerful software so that we can achieve the desired outcomes. Indeed, our CNC cutting equipment is among the best the world. We can even cut with within 0.1mm accuracy.

So, if you want total certainty when you order plywood sheets and other such provisions, you have come to the right place. Also, we can handle sheets of up to six metres long and up to four metres wide, with a board thickness of up to nine centimetres.
