Environmental Policy & Sustainable Timber

10

In many instancesusing certifiedtimber is now alegal requirement.

New Homes

Using Chain of Custody (CoC) certified timber products

helps you earn material points under the Code for

Sustainable Homes Scheme and Ecohomes/BREEAM

Environmental rating systems.

Public Sector Work

Contractors or subcontractors carrying out new build or

maintenance work to public buildings, government

projects, NHS, National Trust, etc. must ensure they

comply with the procurement requirements relating to

the use of timber products.

DON’T GET CAUGHT OUT

Check if certified timber products are required

IF YES

Contact your local branch to check that the timberproducts you require are available CoC certified.

IF YES

Clearly state on your order and/or quote that CoCcertified timber is required. This will not only ensurethat CoC certified timber products are supplied, butwill also ensure that resultant delivery notes, invoicesand any accompanying paperwork clearly identify theproducts as certified. It is not possible to achieve CoCretrospectively.

FSC & PEFCCertificates

What is Chain of Custody and what doesit mean to our Customers?

Chain of Custody tracks and records the journey of thetree from the forest where it grew, through itsprocessing procedures and then onwards to our depotsand ultimately to our customers.

When you – our customer – buys Chain of Custodycertified product from us then you are assured that thetimber is legally sourced from well-managed sustainableforests and by doing so you are ensuring resources areavailable for future generations. To be sure you areobtaining chain of custody product from us it is essentialthat you state this at the time of order. This will ensurethe correct paperwork is generated and that yourinvoice conforms to chain of custody requirements.

Please be aware that if you are then supplying on chainof custody product you will require your own chain ofcustody certification to enable you to do so.

This range of products is machined from original imported

“Unsorted” joinery quality SIDEBOARDS (refer to diagram

on page 12) also known in the trade as “Best” joinery.

SIDEBOARDS are characteristically more stable than similar

size sections cut from the middle of the log. In addition,

knots, where present will generally be sound and small

in size.

Stability is further improved since products machined (for

example) from 25mm thick SIDEBOARDS finish 1.5mm

thicker at 20.5mm whereas one produced by sawing 2ex

50mm after machining would finish at 19mm.

• Machined products produced from SIDEBOARDS are

less prone to movement such as shake, splitting or

cupping, therefore preparation time is reduced prior to

applying decorative finish

• Appearance is more pleasing to the eye

• Particularly suitable for clear or stain finish

This range of products is machined from “Fifths” (Vths) joinery quality SIDEBOARDS and deal sections (refer to diagramon page 12) also known in the trade as “Standard” joinery. Generally of larger knot size and content when compared toour ”Premier” or “Select” joinery ranges.

• Mostly suitable for paint finish or applications where not seen• Items marked * are machined from SIDEBOARDS characteristically more stable than similar size sections cut from the

middle of the log• Stability is further improved since products machined from 25mm thick SIDEBOARDS finish 1.5mm thicker at 20.5mm

whereas one produced by sawing 2ex 50mm after machining would finish at 19mm • Competitively priced

The process for producing specials usually follows the following path:-

3) From the approved drawing the Tool Room Technicians produce templates out of laminated plastic using aspecialised machine. These templates are used in a profile grinder (a larger version of the one used by key cutterswhen making duplicates) to turn blank cutter steel in to profiled cutters to produce the product. There is also astraight knife grinder to sharpen cutters that are predominately used for Planed All Round products (PAR).

ation Guide

With timber beingincreasinglyspecified as thematerial of choicefor exterior andinterior cladding,we would like toshow you some ofthe great rangethat Ridgeonscan offer.

Appearance

Not only does it look good, enhancing theexternal appearance of any building, it makes itmore interesting and pleasing to the eye. Theversatility of timber means it can be produced toalmost any requirement. With ageing andweathering, timber gradually changes colour toan attractive silver-grey. Alternatively it can betreated or stained to individual taste.

Durability

Some hardwoods and softwoods such as WesternRed Cedar, Larch and Douglas Fir are naturallyresistant to decay. Less durable species such asEuropean Redwood can be preservative treatedto prolong life in service.

Performance

Along with durability and a long service life,timber cladding’s natural properties offerimproved acoustic and thermal conductivityperformance.

Ridgeons offers a range of timber claddingproviding an attractive, versatile and durableexternal finish. With its excellent environmentalcredentials timber is increasingly becoming firstchoice for cladding.

Western Red CedarCladding(Thuja plicata)

Western Red Cedar is naturally resistant to moisture,

decay and insect damage. Along with its workability,

versatility and resistance to warping, this makes it an

ideal timber for outdoor applications without the need

for preservative treatments.

Western Red Cedar’s rich warm colour and texture gives

any building, inside or out, a touch of individuality that

blends naturally with the environment.

With ageing and weathering Cedar gradually changes

colour to an attractive silver-grey. Alternatively it can

be treated or stained to individual taste.

A Guide to Western Red CedarOne of the prominent features of western red cedar is its

colour variability ranging from cream through salmon

pink to dark chocolate brown and all shades inbetween,

which will be present to greater or lesser extent in all

batches.

Western Red Cedar is Available in Two GradesThe first is known as No.2 Clear & Better which describes

the top grade exported from Canada and excludes

sapwood, large loose and soft knots, shakes

and wane.

The second is known as No.2 Clear & Better with 15% No.4

of which 15% can contain a higher knot content with larger

softer and dead knots, you may also have larger surface

checks (face splits), wane and sapwood.

Other defects eg. Worm holes are allowed to some degree.

Specifying the Correct GradeAs a general rule of thumb the following criteria should be

observed.

No.2 Clear & Better

Specify this grade if you intend to use specific lengths

without joints and you do not wish to do any significant

defecting. Eg 100/3.0m lengths used in 3.0m lengths.

No.2 Clear & Better (Allowing Max 15% No.4)

Specify this grade if you intend to use random lengths with

random joints in the length and are prepared to defect on

site to achieve a clear or nearly clear appearance. Eg 1000

linier metres supplied in random lengths 1.82-4.2 metres

long. These guidelines include extracts from BS1186-3 now

being quoted as a benchmark quality for cladding in the UK.

Moisture ContentWestern Red Cedar is imported either:

• Kiln Dried (16% Ave with wet spots is suppliers spec)

• Green (no specific moisture content)

• Warning: You may also be offered Air Dried this will

have been imported Green and termed Air Dried because

it has been held in stock for a while. If the term Air Dried

is specified be sure to ask for a defined moisture content.

Otherwise you may as well specify Green.

FinishingThis product will last for many years without applying

surface treatment. The natural effect of exposure to

moisture and ultraviolet light can however cause the natural

colour of timber to fade to a grey colour, surface cracking

and the potential for algae growth.

To prevent ultraviolet degradation it is necessary to include a

pigment into the surface finish which may be translucent or

opaque, although an opaque finish will provide the best

protection.

Cedar ShinglesAnother popular stock item is Cedar Shingles. With their

extremely light weight and low thermal conductivity they

make and ideal roofing and cladding material.

Siberian Larch

42


form

ation Guide

Siberian Larch(Larix sibirica)

Siberian Larch visually is golden yellow in colour and

because it is naturally slow grown, has tight growth rings

combined with a strong figure pattern. Unlike British Larch

(Larix European) that is much faster grown, any knots as

they occur in Siberian Larch tends to be light grey in colour

and are much less likely to fall out after drying and machining.

Siberian Larch is very resinous and extremely hard, making it

one of the toughest and most durable softwoods in the

world. Therefore there is no need for further treatment.

Ideal for use as cladding on extremely exposed elevations or

where impact damage may occur, eg. schools, public

buildings, shopping areas, etc.

GradingSiberian Larch is available in three quality grades with the

two most common being:

• Unsorted (1st – 3rd grades) – used where a very

clean contemporary appearance is required, does

have a few relatively small tight knots.

• Sawfalling (1st – 4th grades) – because of the

inclusion of 4th grades the frequency of knots

and other defects may increase, as a result this

could lead to some selection and defect cutting to

take place on site.

FinishingThis product will last for years without applying surface

treatments. The natural effect of exposure to moisture and

ultraviolet light can, however, cause the natural colour of

the timber to fade to a grey colour, surface cracking and the

potential for algae growth.

To prevent ultraviolet degradation it is necessary to include

a pigment into the surface finish which may be translucent

or opaque, although an opaque finish will provide the best

protection.

ThermowoodThermoWood® is an exciting product that has not just

been heat treated but 'themally modified' by being

put through a total integrated process which enables

Scandinavian softwoods such as Redwood (Pinus

sylvestris) to be used in areas requiring a service life of

at least 30 years.

Changes that occur during the heat treatment include:

• Moisture content reduced by up to 50%

• Timber becomes darker

• Improved resistance to rot

• Resin removed

• Improved weather resistance

• Stability and durability improves

ThermoWood® is sourced from well managed and

sustainable forests and the heat treatment requires no

chemical additives.

We generally offer Thermowood D European redwood

(Pinus Sylvestris) but other grades and species such as

whitewood/spruce (Abies Alba) are also available.

SpecialistSoftwoods

We are not just suppliers of pine andspruce softwoods from Scandinavia. Wecan also source specialist grade softwoodsfrom around the world. Some of thespecies readily obtainable are:

Douglas FirA relatively stable Clear Grade timber which can be used

for both internal and external joinery

Western Red CedarA very durable Clear Grade softwood which is generally

used for cladding on buildings. Naturally weathers to a

grey hue.

Southern Yellow PineBeing a very stable timber, Clear Grade Southern

Yellow Pine is used for windowboards, stair strings

and also decking.

HemlockClear Grade Hemlock has a pinkish-brown colour and is

used in stair parts and kitchen manufacture.

Siberian LarchA durable softwood which is generally used for

claddings and fascia.

Sawn HardwoodsAt Ridgeons we have access to a vastselection of hardwoods from around theworld. Whether it’s Oak for skirting,Balau for decking or Keruing for a wagonbase, we can offer sawn material orproduct machined to profile.

Oak Beams & PostsAvailable as Constructional Grade, D30/D40 Graded,

and Ungraded, in sizes up to 350 x 350mm for Air Dried

Oak or 500 x 500mm for Fresh Sawn (Green) Oak, both

in lengths up to 12.0 metres. It is generally supplied

rough sawn, however, it may also be available as ‘Fine

Sawn’ or Planed All Round. Please contact your local

branch with your requirements.

Fresh Sawn OakSimply put this is oak that has been freshly cut from a

tree that has been felled in the last 3-6 months. It will

have a high moisture content and as such there will be

a high probability that it will be subject to

movement/splits/shakes/distortion during its drying out

process. These can be exacerbated by rapid drying, for

example by the oak being put into a room that has the

central heating turned on. Oak has been historically

used in the traditional construction of stately homes,

period dwellings and barns. Fresh Sawn Oak can be

utilised in a variety of ways ranging from being a part

of the construction of the building, or to create

pergolas and other garden/landscaping projects, or as

posts/sleepers.

Air Dried OakThis is Fresh Sawn Oak that has been sticked (spaced

every layer to permit airflow) and allowed to dry

relatively slowly (at an approximate rate of 25-40mm in

depth all the way round per year), this is dependant

upon where the oak, that is being dried, has been

stored and the prevailing conditions (especially if stored

exposed to the elements). It must be noted that oak will

dry to about 75mm in depth all the way round, this

means that larger sectional sizes may still be ‘Fresh

Sawn’ at the centre. The advantage of Air Dried over

Fresh Sawn is they will be more stable and less likely to

be subject to movement/splits/shakes/distortion,

especially if used internally. So in conclusion Air Dried

oak tends to lend itself better to being used in internal

situations compared to Fresh Sawn oak and provides a

more stable product, and Air Dried Oak can also be

used externally. 49

form

ation Guide

Glulam BeamsToday glulam is used in many varied types ofconstruction, particularly in leisure buildings andschools, and is now becoming a popular materialused in churches, play grounds, bridge building,multi storey car parks and electricity masts.

Wood has well known qualities which are acharacterisic of glulam and makes it just as real,warm and inviting as the wood it ismanufactured from.

In construction glulam is used for its strength andcharacter building versatility, it can be producedin individual shapes; straight, curved, crankedpre-chambered and portal frames, large or small.

Cross LaminatedTimberCross laminated timber is a two-way spanningtimber panel that is manufactured similar toGlulam Beams. However, it can be used toproduce walls, roof and floor panels. The layersof timber (generally Spruce/EuropeanWhitewood) used to produce the panels arealternately laid at 90° over each other, creatingpanels up to 24m in length, 340mm thick and2950mm in width. Due to this manufacturingprocess it is a stable product having littleshrinkage or movement after manufacture.

This product offers an entirely new way to lookat load transfer and has a proven history ofmulti-storey building capability, currently up to 9storeys in the UK. It also has the ability toproduce long spans for floors. This product helpsto reduce construction time, thus saving moneyand maximising efficiency on site.

form

ation Guide

Ridgeons operatesits own timberpreservation plantsunder licence at itsForest Productsoperation atHerringswell.

This enables us to maintain ourcommitment to providing timberpreservative treated off the shelf fromour comprehensive carcassing ex stockrange. In addition we have the

flexibility to treat non-stock items to order andmatch the correct treatment system to end-use.

Celcurised TimberIs the name given to timber that has been preservedwith a Celcure product from Koppers which containcopper and an organic co-biocide. This high-pressurepreservative treatment system has beencommercially used for more than a decade inlocations throughout Europe, North America,Australia and Japan. It can be used to treat timberfrom Use Class 1 to 4.

• Effective protection against the threat of wood-boring insects and fungal decay.• Naturewood products are durable and designed for outdoor construction. Suitable for external applications both in-ground contact and out of ground contact (subject to Use Class).• Ideal for structural timber, garden furniture, fencing, decking, playground equipment and landscaping structures such as pergolas. • Can be painted or stained by following manufacturers recommendations.• Complies with European standards.

Celcurised Timber will initially have an even greenappearance, this will weather to a natural honeybrown colour before finally fading to a driftwoodgrey after long term exposure to the sun.

Protim Clearchoiceis the brand name for wood treatedunder low pressure with a waterbased preservative.

Can be used to treat timber from Use Class 1 to 3,

• Effective protection against the threat of wood-boring insects and fungal decay.• Can be painted or stained by following manufacturers recommendations.• Suitable for use in internal and external construction projects that are above DPC/ground level. When using Protim Clearchoice in external applications it will need to be coated with a suitable external coating.• Ideal for internal and external joinery, claddings, roof timbers and timber framing.• Will not change the colour or appearance of wood.

In addition to the treatment systemsavailable from our Forest Products operation.Ridgeons also has access to a state of theart treatment plant that is close to our ownterminal operation at Ipswich.

Remember, any surface exposed by drilling,cutting and working timber in any way mustbe retreated with a cut end preservative.

Cut End Wood PreservativeWhatever you build with treated timber products, any surface exposed by cutting or drilling must be coated with endcoat preservative.

The timber is transferred into the treatment vessel.

The Preservative Process

A vacuum pulls the air out of the vessel and

the timber.

Koppers’ preservative fills the vessel.

The vessel is pressurised forcing the preservative

into the timber.

The preservative is removed and final vacuum is applied

to remove excess.

The timber has now been preserved with a Koppers preservative.

Fire Protection

ation Guide

The timber when subjected to fire causes the chemicals in the treatment to create a layer of char on thesurface of the timber this in turn slows down the rate of combustion reducing the likelihood of ignition,the rate of the surface spread of flames and the amount of heat released. This should then provide anincreased time for escape from a burning building and for the fire brigade to arrive.

Plywood Specifications

Fortunately, there are only two material components in

plywood: wood & glue. How these components interact

will ultimately define how the plywood performs. These

two standards provide a relatively straightforward way of

classifying the outcome.

EN 314-2:1993 Plywood - Bonding QualityClassifies plywood by bonding quality only and gives rise

to 3 bond classes dependent upon the intended end use.

Bonding quality is determined by the adhesive type and

core veneer quality (physical defects such as

knot holes and splits):

(Bond) Class I: suitable for dry interior use only.

(Bond) Class II: suitable for use in humid areas or

exposure to occasional wetting.

(Bond) Class III: suitable for unprotected exterior

use or exposure to frequent wetting.

EN 636: 2003, Plywood - SpecificationsClassifies plywood by taking into account the bond

quality and the biological durability of the wood species

used in the plywood:

(Specification) Class I: suitable for dry interior use only.

(Specification) Class II: suitable for use in humid areas

or exposure to occasional wetting.

(Specification) Class III: suitable for unprotected exterior

use or exposure to wetting.

when selecting the ideal panel product for your requirements.
