Wooden sleepers: simple pieces of wood on the surface but with so many uses. They can be structural, used for ceilings or walls. They can be purely decorative, used for making fireplace surrounds or other features inside the home. Or they can be used out of doors too, for raised flower beds or garden furniture. This multi use aspect of them means they are good value for money and can be used in various home improvement projects by homeowners, landlords, developers, architects and more.

If you’re planning a home improvement project of any kind, it’s useful to think about whether sleepers could help you. They’re low cost, relatively easy to source, and could be ideal for your project. If you’re working with a home designer or architect, it’s a good idea to ask if they need you to source any materials. If so, find a quality timber supplier with wooden sleepers that you can use in your project.
