At ProBoard Timber, we are proud to provide high-quality, sustainable timber products that enhance your spaces and respect the environment. Behind every timber product is a carefully managed process designed to ensure sustainability, quality, and long-lasting value. At Proboard Timber, we regularly visit our suppliers to ensure the quality of our products is up to standard. In this post, we take you on a journey through the life cycle of our timber, from the forest to your finished project.
Step 1: Sustainable Forestry
The journey begins in responsibly managed forests, where timber is harvested with a commitment to sustainability. ProBoard Timber partners with suppliers who adhere to strict environmental standards, such as PEFC or similar certifications.
This ensures:
Trees are harvested selectively to maintain the ecological balance of the forest.
Replanting initiatives are in place to replenish what is taken, ensuring future generations can enjoy thriving forests.
Local communities and wildlife are protected through sustainable practices.
Sustainable forestry not only preserves biodiversity but also helps combat climate change by maintaining forests as vital carbon sinks.
Step 2: Harvesting and Transport
Once the timber is ready for harvesting, it is carefully cut and transported to processing facilities. Precision and efficiency at this stage are key to minimising waste and reducing the carbon footprint of transportation.
Step 3: Processing and Grading
Raw timber is transformed into usable products through a meticulous process:
Sawing and Milling: The logs are cut into boards or other shapes depending on their intended use. Advanced machinery ensures precision and minimises waste.
Kiln Drying: The timber is kiln dried to 8%, enhancing durability and resistance to warping or cracking.
Grading: Each piece of timber is inspected and graded based on its strength, appearance, and quality. This step ensures that only the best materials make it to our customers.
Step 5: Distribution and Customer Delivery
Once the timber arrives with us, timber products are transported to our customers. ProBoard Timber works diligently to ensure timely delivery while maintaining sustainability through efficient logistics practices.
Step 6: A Second Life Through Reuse and Recycling
The life cycle of timber doesn’t end with its use in construction or design. Timber is one of the few building materials that can be reclaimed and reused multiple times. Old beams, decking, or flooring can be repurposed into new furniture, decorative elements, or even re-milled into fresh boards.
At ProBoard Timber, we encourage our customers to think long-term and consider the potential for reusing timber. By choosing our products, you’re investing in a material that offers lasting beauty, functionality, and a low environmental footprint.
ProBoard Timber: Sustainability at Every Step
At every stage of the timber life cycle, ProBoard Timber is committed to sustainability and quality. From responsible harvesting to precision processing, we ensure that our products not only meet your needs but also uphold our values of environmental stewardship and community support.
When you choose ProBoard Timber, you’re not just buying a product—you’re making a conscious choice to support sustainable practices and invest in materials that will stand the test of time.
