Engineered timber products are modified to eliminate natural weaknesses and enhance strengths, providing stronger, longer, wider, and more stable solutions than natural timber.
Roof Trusses
Trussed rafters are custom-designed components made from kiln-dried, strength-graded timber, connected using steel nailplate fasteners to create a structural frame. They are used to build trussed rafter roofs for various buildings and are considered a sophisticated and highly engineered timber product in today’s competitive market.
Our suppliers produce CE mark-compliant trussed rafters adhering to ISO9001 quality assurance. They offer hipped roofs, attic trusses, special roof systems, and loose infill materials. Bedford Timber Supplies offers tailored trusses for residential and commercial applications, complete with calculations and layout drawings. We also stock a full range of roof-building ironmongery.
JJI Joists
JJI-Joists are structurally engineered timber joists that combine high-grade softwood with engineered composite panels. JJI-Joists offer several advantages over traditional structural timber beams. These include longer lengths, a composition that resists shrinking and warping, an excellent strength-to-weight ratio, and straight and uniform dimensions. Additionally, JJI-Joists are accredited by PAS 2050.
JJI-Joists are available in various sizes commonly used in the UK construction industry, with joist depths ranging from 195mm to 450mm. These joists are constructed with a 9mm OSB web and C24 softwood flanges that range from 45mm to 97mm in width.
Glulam Beam
Glulam beams are stress-rated engineered timber beams composed of multiple layers of laminations glued together under pressure and heat. They can be simple, straight beams or complex curved beams twisted into specific shapes.
At Bedford Timber Supplies, we can guide you through the entire planning process. We take your concept and, with the help of our preferred suppliers, can create accurate glulam beams to your exact specifications. We have experience handling everything from small projects to large-scale developments, and we work with architects, builders, and project managers to ensure that projects are completed on time and within budget.
