European Hardwoods
European Hardwoods - we are looking to do more with Hardwoods from Europe and North America and as such during 2017 set out to find new opportunities, we have been successful in establishing a supply chain for European White Oak engineered T&G and European Beech. European hardwoods in general comprise one of the largest sustainable supply chains in World. So we are investigating what we can do with these beautiful hardwoods.
European Beech - we have stocked and traded in European Beech for nearly 20 years and over the past few years it has lost favour to White Oak in terms of fashion. European Beech is a medium density hardwood which is a slightly pinkish tone and very even grained. I spent some time this year researching supply options includes sizes and grades to make European Beech a great option. It seems that we are able to offer this species for manufacturers at a great value to make a range of products. We are currently researching some other manufactured products from European Beech including LVL.
European White Oak - mainly in the form of engineered T&G this species offers a great flooring choice and we are evaluating a range of prefinished oiled options to add to our offering of unfinished T&G.
