Timberis

Timberis is a term used in the building and forestry sectors to describe a class of engineered timber products marketed under a generic descriptor rather than a specific species. The term is used by several manufacturers to indicate standardized processing, performance, and sustainability criteria. Timberis products are intended to complement traditional solid timber by offering improved uniformity and dimensional stability.

Typical Timberis products include engineered boards and panels created by bonding wood veneers, fibers, or strands with adhesives. Common formats are laminated veneer lumber (LVL), plywood-type panels, and cross-laminated or layered assemblies. The exact composition varies by producer but generally aims to optimize strength, stiffness, and resistance to warping while allowing use of smaller or fast-growing timber species.

Applications cover structural components in residential and commercial construction, furniture, and interior fit-outs. Timberis assemblies are valued for predictable performance, ease of fabrication, and compatibility with standard fasteners and finishing treatments.

Sustainability and environmental impact are central to Timberis programs. Many producers emphasize responsibly sourced feedstock, third-party forest certification, and reductions in formaldehyde emissions through alternative resin systems. Life-cycle assessment and end-of-life options such as recycling or energy recovery are also considered.
