WHY CHOOSE PREMIUM PLANED TIMBER?
Planed timber is the go-to choice for projects where a smooth, polished finish is essential. At Read Brothers, we supply premium planed timber across East Anglia, providing quality solutions for visible applications like skirting boards, furniture, and cladding. Our precision-machined timber not only looks great but is also safer and more comfortable to handle. Whether you're crafting a bespoke table, upgrading interior joinery, or working on other bespoke projects, our premium planed timber ensures a flawless, professional finish every time.
Types of Timber Mouldings
Understanding the different types of timber mouldings helps you choose the right profile for your project. Skirting and architrave remain the most common choices for interior joinery, providing a clean transition between walls, floors and door frames. Smaller profiles such as scotia, quadrant and door stop are essential for finishing edges neatly, especially where floors meet walls or where doors require a secure closing point. Picture rails are often used in period homes across Norwich, helping maintain original character while adding practical protection to walls. Handrails and window boards round out the range, offering strength and stability in high‑use areas. At Read Brothers, each profile is machined accurately to ensure a reliable fit on site, saving time for builders, joiners and DIY customers working with a wide range of timber materials.
Choosing the Right Moulding Profile
Selecting the right profile depends on the style of the property and the scale of the room. Modern homes typically suit square‑edged or minimal designs, while older properties benefit from deeper, more decorative mouldings that match existing features. When working on renovations in East Anglia, it’s common to blend new mouldings with original joinery, especially in Victorian and Edwardian buildings. Consider ceiling height, flooring type and how much visual impact you want around doors and skirting lines. For busy households or commercial spaces, choose profiles that are durable and easy to maintain. If you’re unsure which option fits your project, our team offers straightforward, practical advice based on more than 45 years of experience.
Timber Species Comparison
Different timber species offer distinct advantages. Redwood is known for its stability and smooth finish, making it a strong choice for visible joinery and mouldings that will be stained or varnished. Hardwood options provide excellent impact resistance and a premium feel, ideal for high‑traffic areas or feature joinery. Our premium planed timber range is selected for consistency and long‑term performance, giving tradespeople and homeowners confidence in every installation.
