Question 1

Can beech really replace birch in my product?

Accepted Answer

Yes — and it usually performs better. Cildro beech is denser (750 vs ~650 kg/m³) and harder than Baltic birch. Anywhere birch worked, beech works at least as well, and free samples let your team prove it on their own machines before you commit.

Question 2

What's the minimum order?

Accepted Answer

One pallet for pick-up, or a full truck delivered. We run pallet programs and full-truck schedules for volume buyers across the UK and EU.

Question 3

How fast can you deliver?

Accepted Answer

Roughly two weeks from confirmed order to dispatch. We quote a firm lead time with every offer so you can plan production around it.

Question 4

Is it certified?

Accepted Answer

FSC, E1 emission class, EUDR-compliant, and tested to EN standards (EN-310, EN-314-2, EN-323, EN-717-1). Full traceability and documentation ship with every order.

Question 5

What about price versus birch?

Accepted Answer

Once you add EU duties on the remaining birch routes — bans, the 86.8% Chinese duty, Kazakh/Turkish anti-dumping — EU beech lands competitively, often below the true delivered cost of birch, with no distributor margin. Request a live quote and compare landed prices.
