Bartram Timber

Bartram Timber Ltd was established in 1998 by its current MD James Bartram. The staff, including its MD, has a broad wealth of knowledge and experience in the timber industry. It supplies a diverse range of timber, MDF, Thermowood, decking and all its associated products.

As Bartram Timber has developed over the years it has broadened its horizons in many directions. Foremost must be its development of the importing and machining of hardwoods and softwoods. This includes Larch and Cedar used for cladding, decking and construction. This has to be closely followed by its venturing into the door and window market. A glance at the case studies is proof enough of the success and diversity of these projects.

Finnforest ThermoWood Cladding
The improved durability of Finnforest ThermoWood© makes it an excellent material to use in the production of timber claddings and rain screens. The heat treatment process enables the use of Scandinavian Redwood in areas requiring a service life of up to 30 years without the need for a chemical preservative.

Cedar Cladding
Western Red Cedar is an ideal material for use as exterior cladding and is available with CSA & FSC™ certification.

Completely in-keeping with the current vogue for natural materials it can enhance the exterior of any building with a beautiful aesthetic quality, while simultaneously offering significant technical benefits.

Western Red Cedar is naturally resistant to decay and insect attack. It simply seasons over time if left untreated to an attractive silver grey appearance. Cedar offers superior acoustic qualities too, helping to reduce noise or confine it to specific areas. It is also an excellent material for thermal insulation - in summer keeping the building cool and in winter preventing the heat from escaping.

Siberian Larch Cladding
Siberian Larch procures slow grown Larch wood from Siberia, which is readily available with FSC™. The product is consequently denser, straight grained and contains less knots. This species of timber is a popular choice for cladding throughout Europe, but is only recently gaining prominence in the UK.

Trussed Rafters
In today's competitive market, trussed rafters stand alone as a sophisticated and highly engineered timber product, with complex design and superior creation reinforced by high production standards.

Compared with other methods of roof construction, trussed rafters represent the most cost effective and flexible design option available.
