Responsible sourcing
Timber is one of the most sustainable construction materials on the planet.
Elliotts take its sourcing of timber and wood products very seriously and only source from reputable suppliers who can demonstrate that products supplied are from legal and well managed forests, and other controlled sources.
We are pleased to be able to offer FSC and PEFC certification on a wide range of our products across our branch network, and to buy online, including timber carcassing, CLS, roofing batten, PAR, OSB, plywood, chipboard & MDF.
FSC® — Forest Stewardship Council® is an independent organisation that promotes the responsible management of the world's forests. Look for FSC®-certified products on our website.
PEFC – Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification schemes shares some common aims with FSC in promoting the sustainable management of forests through independent third party certification.
When buying timber online, you’ll notice that “FSC® certified” or “PEFC certified” will be stated in the product specification. However, the only way to truly know if your timber is certified is to check the certification held by the merchant your purchasing from. Here’s where you can view our FSC® certification and PEFC certification.
