PRODUCT INNOVATIONS
The engineered answer
Timber importer and distributor James Latham, is seeing sales soar of its engineered hardwood and softwood, WoodEx, as the versatile timber product is specified in more and more joinery projects. WoodEx, which is made from laminated Oak, Sapele and European Redwood offers numerous features and benefits. It has two high quality, clear faces for use in joinery applications and is ideally suitable for use in timber doors and windows as the product offers greater dimensional stability. In addition, WoodEx is made from finger-jointed lamells which are glued together, and Lathams can supply the product either as
finger jointed or as one piece. James Latham’s Group Product Sales & Development Manager for WoodEx, Paul Leach, commented, “We introduced WoodEx to the market last year and have had a fantastic reaction from the joinery sector due to the options it offers. “In line with growing demand, our stock now covers a wide range of sizes and species and provides a versatile addition to our already extensive timber range.” WoodEx is available ex- stock in lengths of 0.8m to 3m, and in sizes ranging from 48mm x 95mm to 72mm x 120mm. Special sizes and lengths are also available to order. For further information please telephone 0116 2573415, email
