James Latham has collaborated with long-term sawmill partner, Pennsylvania-based HORIZON, to introduce a new timber product: quarter sawn Tulipwood.
Exclusive to James Latham, it has been developed in response to specifier and contractor calls for a superior, stable, and sustainable material for a range of specific interior joinery purposes, which includes kitchen doors and cabinetry.
Manufactured to full 34mm thickness, quarter sawn Tulipwood is precision cut, resulting in an extremely clean and flat surface. This all results in a plank of generous width, delivering significant cost savings in the form of less wastage, lower processing costs, and fewer snagging issues.
Creamy white in appearance, with very little colour variation and mineral streak, it can help achieve a clean, consistent look in application.
Available in the UK and Ireland, the quarter-sawn tulipwood is stocked in various lengths and widths, ranging from 2.1m to 4m planks. The standard thickness is 34mm, which can be machined down to 27mm if required.
