How Do You Know the Best Timber to Choose?

Timber comes in various grades, various appearances and many different shades. You will generally use different kinds of timber for different purposes – for example, you wouldn’t choose premium timber for covering the floor of an outbuilding, but you might use it for a floor covering inside of a home. There can be a great deal of variation in terms of price, even if you have a more premium type of timber like oak.

Whilst there are differences in terms of quality, much of your decision will come down to personal preference. You might choose a lower quality of wood if you are looking for a more rustic appearance, for example, if you are applying cladding to an exterior building. In this instance, it is far more acceptable to have a rustic look and a type of timber has knots and shows the woodgrain up clearly. Get some timber samples and see which ones appeal to you.
