Enews covers the latest economic, environmental, industry and Federation news.
Members’ Directory and Buyers’ Guide The TTF website provides Members with the opportunity to promote their businesses to an ever-growing on-line audience. Space is provided for each Member’s site to display its own logo, list contact and location details (including a map facility); detailing the product categories stocked. Search facilities allow potential customers to locate Members by name, location or product type.
The paper copy of the Buyers’ Guide has proved to be very successful. It provides Members’ contact information and an opportunity for Members to advertise their company at competitive rates. The Directory is distributed to over 3,000 builders, specifiers, architects and local authorities. It promotes the benefits of using wood in general, and why they should choose a TTF Member in particular.

TTF Guides
The Federation produces a series of TTF Guides especially created to inform Members on a range of topics from technical issues, such as standards and grading, to environmental matters and RPP. These guides include:
Graded Timber – Basics
This provides a basic guide to the different types of strength and appearance of graded timber.
TTF Guides to Timber Standards
It is often difficult to know exactly what the most relevant British and European standards that apply to your
products are. Therefore, TTF has created a series of three timber standards guides for the main commodity types (Softwood, Hardwood, and Panel Products) together with background information to explain exactly what standards are, why they were created, what harmonised European Standards and CE marking are and how they are relevant.
Guide to Constructional Plywood and OSB This TTF Guide provides information on the different types of constructional plywood available and what to look for when specifying them.
Panel Guide The Panel Guide gives website visitors a complete overview of veneer and core plywood, particleboards, oriented strand board (OSB) and fibreboards. It also gives guidance on panels in construction, storage, handling, environmental aspects and health and safety.
