Answers:

Products:

1. - Why do some products show two different sizes?
Timber products are often shown as having two different sizes, these are the Nominal Size and the Finish Size. The Nominal Size is the size of the product before it has been processed to its Finish Size. It is always best to check which size timber you require before you place an order. Information on the finish size of the product will be in the Technical Specification of that product.

2. - I can’t find the product I’m looking for?
We only show a selection of our products online. If you are unable to find a product you are looking for please contact your local branch and they will be able to assist you further.

3. - I have a question about a product, who can I contact?
Please contact your local branch, who will be more than happy to assist you.

4. - The image online is slightly different to what I received, why is that?
Images online may vary slightly from the actual products delivered due to natural variation in colour and screen resolution.
