Premier Planed Softwood
Most of our timber for our 'Premier Planed' joinery softwood is sourced from Siljan, one of the most modern mills in Sweden. Siljan are ideally situated to harvest timber from the central and northern regions, where a colder climate results in slower tree growth and therefore denser, stronger, more stable wood. Siljan supply us with European Redwood Pine, which has the best texture for a fine, sharp finish. Siljan's grading systems are also amongst the highest in the industry, which means they can meet our own stringent requirements of using kiln dried and graded sections that are as close as possible to the final size we are producing.
Suitable for joinery work and applications where appearance is desirable or paramount, we select the best grades available for our 'Premier Planed' softwood. This ensures that Champion Timber is great value for money by providing:
- Only high grade, slow grown, fine textured Swedish Redwood Pine - producing a stronger, pleasant looking, more stable timber, with good 'working' characteristics
- Clean timber with low knot content, dramatically reducing preparation time and expenditure on knotting, filling and sanding, etc.
- Skilfully kiln dried timber in dimensions that are as close as possible to the final size being machined, dramatically reducing timber distortion
- Super smooth planed finish, so the timber requires only minimum preparation before painting or varnishing
- A big range and big stocks, so that you can buy with the confidence that we can supply all your requirements
- Virtually every piece, every metre in a usable form
- Consistency of dimension to ensure the same size, the same profile, every time you buy, so there is no need to make good to match up piece to piece
- A good range of length options; for most items, we will cut to length (nearest 0.3m), providing there is no shorter than a 1.8m length off-cut, dramatically reducing unnecessary waste.
'FrameMate' planed regularised softwood
Used for framework, studding, battening and for applications where price and strength is more important than appearance, 'FrameMate' is available in selected lengths of 22 x 50mm, 47 x 50mm, 47 x 75mm and 47 x 100mm nominal. To ensure consistency it is planed and regularised for uniform dimension all round and, like our 'Premier Planed', kiln dried to reduce timber distortion.
Sawn softwood
Sawn untreated softwood is available in a range of sizes for general building work, shuttering, packing cases and non-structural internal work.
Other Construction Softwood
Produced from Nordic Swedish Redwood wherever possible, Champion JoistMate softwood construction timber makes roofing easier with no more packing or trimming of joists. Champion JoistMate is:
- Pressure preservative treated
- Dry, C16 or C24 Strength Graded - conforming to current local Building Regulations, which require that internal structural timbers must be strength graded
- Machine regularised to within 1mm of original size
- Available in a large range of sizes ex stock
Other softwoods
Southern Yellow Pine is known for its strong grain, clear boards and wide widths, and is stocked to cover requirements for wider sizes such as used for stairstrings, etc. Other species available to order include Parana Pine, Hemlock, Douglas Fir and Cedar.
