At B&Q, we recognise the importance of a project that is well-built and endures the test of time. For any building project, our choice of timber offers a solid foundation, crucial support, and structure. It serves as a foundation for the sheet wood used to build the walls and floors. Our in-store timber cutting service is ideal for DIY projects, simply have one of our professionals cut it to size, ready for you to take home. Furthermore, our cladding guards against weather-related harm and provides thermal insulation to lower energy expenditures during chilly evenings. Our timber options are ideal for individuals seeking a modern appearance with a light paint finish. Additionally, we offer skirting board to shield walls from damage. Our selection of architraves can be utilised to make lovely door and window frames to give a nice inside feature to your construction. You should also acclimate your wooden panels by leaving them in the room for a few days. The wood will adjust to humidity and temperature levels this way. If you want to better hide the joints between the panels, you should also paint or stain your walls a color similar to your wood sheets before applying them. We use a third-party courier service who have a strict policy on abuse or harassment towards their drivers. In any case where there is abuse or harassment, the driver is within their rights to refuse delivery. Typically certain species of American hardwood such as Walnut are shipped into the United Kingdom as FAS 1 face or better, using the internationally recognised NHLA (National Hardwood Lumber Association)grading rules because they are fruit woods with much smaller trunks, more sapwood, more knots etc.

Before cutting any of your wood panelling, lay out your sheets on the floor for a preview. Once you’re satisfied with your wood panelling design, you can start applying! You’ll need a caulking gun loaded with panel adhesive. Place dollops of adhesive on the wall, spaced 10 inches apart. FAS 1 face allows for only the best face to be 83% clear of knot and the reverse face 50% clear and the sapwood is not considered a defect, especially in Walnut and Cherry, Walnut is steamed which helps blend the colour of sap and heart.
