Lathams

James Latham is one of the UK’s largest independent distributors of timber, panels
and decorative surfaces.  

With a history reaching back over 260 years, Lathams have always been innovators. We consistently push the boundaries of materials selection, from
our origins in timber products, through to the modern day where we
sit as one of the sectors’ most recognised suppliers of cutting edge materials
technologies, including decorative laminates, veneers, thermoplastics, solid
surfaces and acrylics.  

Our stock profile includes many excusive brands, encompassing design led ranges from the likes of XyloCleaf decorative surfaces, Decospan real wood veneers, Studio Collection design resins and the original Shou Sugi Ban charred timber, through to performance surfaces such as the remarkable thermoformable, anti-microbial, flame retardant Kydex and AbetLamishield, featuring silver-ion technology to prevent bacteria, mould, fungi and other health threatening microbes.  

Our people are as important as our product ranges. Experienced
industry professionals teamed with specialist product managers mean we are able to offer solutions and advice in the most challenging of applications.  

Operating from twelve depots throughout the UK and Ireland, and two showrooms in London & Manchester, we work with designers, architects makers and more, enabling the most demanding designs and construction projects to become reality.
