Environmental Policy
Wolseley UK recognises that our customers are also increasingly aware of their own environmental
responsibilities and have a desire to work in partnership with organisations that are serious about
environmental issues. Wolseley UK has engaged in the Chain of Custody scheme for our Build Center
brand, as well as achieving BS EN ISO 14001:2004 accreditation as part of our commitment to the
continual improvement, prevention of pollution and a commitment to comply with applicable legal
requirements.
Wolseley UK’s Environmental Commitment
‘Wolseley UK is aware of its responsibilities towards
the environment and is committed to environmental
protection on a local and a global scale. The company
is committed to the continual improvement of its
environmental performance’

The Responsible Purchasing Policy for Timber
Wolseley UK has worked with the Timber Trade Federation to develop
The Responsible Purchasing Policy for Timber (RPP) since 2004. The
RPP is fundamentally a system of risk assessing products and
suppliers, which Wolseley UK is using to assess the legal and
sustainable status of the timber that it purchases.This is particularly
important where timber is from forest locations where certification schemes are not widely in place
e.g. Asia Pacific, South America etc...
The RPP system has proven to be a success. The Timber Trade Federation has given full backing to the
scheme, and will recommend that all members adopt the RPP system in the future. The RPP has also
been recognised by the UK Government as an excellent example of industry good practice in helping
to source legal and sustainable timber.

Chain of Custody Certification
Chain of Custody certification is a globally
recognised, and independently regulated,
accreditation. It provides documented evidence
that certified products originate from certified,
well-managed forests and also verifies that these
products are not mixed with products from
uncertified forests at any point in the supply
chain.
Wolseley UK has held multi-site chain of custody
certification for the Build Center brand since
January 2004. Branches now offer a choice of
almost 2000 stocked products with FSC or PEFC
endorsement. This includes: sawn and machined
softwood, MDF mouldings, I-beams; panel
products such as MDF, OSB, chipboard,
chipboard flooring and plywood, as well as
hardwoods and special products available to
order. The Chain of Custody programme aims to
increase the number of branches within the
scheme to include all Build Center branches, and
to generate a continuous increase in certified
stock of all products. However, branches that do
not hold certification can still provide evidence
of legal felling and sustainability from our
suppliers.

Strength grading is undertaken primarily to provide timber of sufficient strength for a particular function, e.g. a floor joistor a roof truss. At the same time strength grading helps to ensure that both the design and the timber sizes specified areeconomical.

Uses: External wall panels & cladding (when edge sealed), huts, garages, sheds, external joinery & walkways.We can supply to order pre-painted, cut-to-size and flame retardant panels.
The Construction Products Directive (CPD)All wood based panel products (imported into the EU after April 2004) intended for use in construction need to meet CPDrequirements. This is still not a legal requirement but the majority of manufacturers now conform to these standards.
The 2 main classifications are:
Suitable for structural use
Suitable for non-structural use only
It is important to note that in relation to structural and load bearing use, the British Standard BS5268-2:2002 is still widelyspecified. In this case Finnish Spruce Plywood is an ideal solution.
Scotland RangeAvailable from stock in Scotland
Extended RangeAvailable from stock in allBuild Center-Timber branches
Core RangeAvailable from stock in allBuild Center branches
Top quality Finnish spruce makes plies that are strong, lightweight and easy to work with. You don’t even have to worrywhether you can use them for structural work because each sheet shows the CE “Structural 2+” and “BS5268-2:2002”marks to guarantee it.
Finn Spruce Floor is ideal for use in high specification flooring where chipboard is not suitable.
� Top quality Finnish ply
� CE-Marked for an easy life
� Wide range of sizes and gauges
� All Finnforest Spruce plywoods are PEFC compliant

How many linear metres do you need to build your deck?
Check out the table that relates to the width of the deck board you are laying - the thickness does not matter. Then take thewidth and lengh of the deck you want to build and see where the two columns meet.For example, if your deck is to be 5m x 6m and you have decided to use the 150mm deck board, then you will requireapproximatley 210m of decking (see example shown in table below). Always remember to add some extra metreage forcutting and wastage.
