Great furniture starts with great timber, and Greenhaus [CR1] knows it. As one of our long-time partners, they've spent years crafting a curated range of furniture using hardwoods like our Ash, Oak and Kiaat, chosen for both structural integrity and the character each species brings to the finished piece.

It's proof of what quality raw material can become in the right hands. If you're planning your own furniture project and want to find the hardwood to match your vision, get in touch with your nearest Universal Plywood & Timbers branch.

The species you choose isn't the only thing that shapes the final look of a timber project. How the pieces are joined together matters too, with each profile creating its own play of light and shadow across the surface.

At Universal Plywood & Timbers, we offer standard profiles including:

UniSlatted️ Bold
Deep-grooved 3-batten cladding creating dramatic shadow lines.

UniSlatted Fine
Narrow, shallow 3-batten cladding creating subtler shadow lines.

UniV️
Chamfered V-groove cladding created shallow, subtle lines.

UniFlush
Flat tongue and groove for a seamless finish.

UniDeck️ Smooth
Standard pencil-rounded decking for a clean finish.

We're also able to deliver our timber in a number of other common wood profiles, with custom specification available on request.

There's a reason furniture makers reach for hardwood when they want the best end result. These durable, slow-maturing trees have a denser structure and richer grain than softwood, which means better strength and a finish that only gets more beautiful with age.

Universal Plywood & Timbers stocks a full range of hardwoods to suit any furniture project, including Ash, Oak, Walnut, Japanese Cedar, Sapele Mahogany, Cherry, and Kiaat. Whatever you're building, our team can help you find the right one for the job.

Some timbers are just made for hardwearing applications. Balauhandles heavy foot traffic, shrugs off the weather, and develops a character all of its own over time: warm gold when oiled, elegant silver when left to age naturally.

We stock Balau, along with a range of other outdoor timber and hardware, across our branches nationwide. Find yours at www.universalply.com
