What is a timber glut?
A timber glut is a solid piece of timber used for various applications, such as providing additional support, stabilizing structures, or acting as spacers. Timber gluts are valued for their strength and versatility, often made from durable hardwood or softwood species.
What are your timber gluts and pallet boards made from?
Our pallets and packaging products are made from radiata pine timber. This is a popular choice due to the combination of strength, affordability and versatility. Pine is lightweight yet strong, making it ideal for carrying heavy loads while remaining easy to handle.
Its uniform texture and straight grain allow for easy machining and assembly, enhancing the efficiency of production. Radiata pine has good resistance to impact and bending, making it suitable for the rigors of shipping and transportation.
Additionally, radiata pine is fast-growing and readily available, making it a sustainable choice that is often more cost-effective than other timber species.
Are your timber gluts and pallet boards treated?
Our gluts and pallet boards are untreated. Untreated timber is a cost-effective solution for local or domestic shipments. Additionally, untreated timber can be easier to recycle or repurpose since they avoid the use of chemical preservatives.
Are your timber gluts and pallet boards responsibly sourced?
Yes. Capital Battens has a responsible wood sourcing policy that ensures we only accept wood from well-managed forests that prioritise environmental health and biodiversity.
Wood supply from certified suppliers is prioritised (such certifications as the Forests Stewardship Council FSC or the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification PEFC).
