Shiplap Timber Modle

Shiplap is a type of wooden board used commonly in the construction of barns, sheds outbuildings and inexpensive or seasonal homes. It is either rough-sawn 1" or milled 3/4" pine or similarly inexpensive wood between 3" and 10" wide with a 3/8" - 1/2" rabbet on opposite sides of each end. The rabbet allows the boards to overlap in this area. The profile of each board partially overlaps that of the board next to it creating a channel that gives shadow line effects, provides excellent weather protection and allows for dimensional movement. Useful for its strength as a supporting member, and its ability to form a relatively tight seal when lapped, shiplap is usually used as a type of siding for buildings that do not require extensive maintenance and must withstand cold and aggressive climates. Rough-sawn shiplap is attached vertically in post and beam construction, usually with 6d-8d common nails, while milled versions, providing a tighter seal, are more commonly placed horizontally, more suited to two-by-four frame construction. Small doors and shutters such as those found in barns and sheds are often constructed of shiplap cut directly from the walls, with only thin members framing or crossing the back for support. Shiplap is also used indoors for the rough or rustic look that it creates when used as paneling or a covering for a wall or ceiling. Shiplap is often used to describe any rabbeted siding material that overlaps in a similar fashion.

Thermowood

Thermowood is a thermal modification process using steam and high heat treatment to increase the durability of wood. The process takes between 48 and 96 hours depending on timber species, width and initial moisture content. Thermowood process can be divided into 3 part high temperature drying, heat treatment and cooling.As a result of the high temperature applied to the wood, the substances which reduce the lifecycle of the wood, such as glucose, citric acid and resin, that exist at the inner part of the wood are removed and the rest is crystallized. This process makes the physical properties of the timber better, improves the durability and provides an excellent colour. As a result of the process, reduced moisture content of the wood and relative humidity removed the Thermowood timber becomes stable.

As a principle the heat treatment process can be done on all wood species.

Timber Merchant

We recognise the strain that is being placed upon the environment by irresponsible timber merchants, which is why we source all of our timber from renewable sources. Our timber is professionally processed through sawing, machining, air-drying or kiln drying, and is readily available ex stock for rapid delivery. All of our wood comes with full technical back-up too. We are delighted to be able to offer our own in-house structural grading service, which ensures that we supply our customers with the finest timber products. By sourcing only the very best oak, hardwood and timber we have built up an enviable reputation within the industry for quality, something we take great pride in. At Border Hardwood we can even machine your timber so that it is ready for its end use - all you have to do is submit a list of particular sizes for us to cut to. This saves you the hassle and necessary resources of machining your own raw materials, which in turn will reduce capital and labour overheads
