Provenance
Our timber is all sourced from certified plantations.
Our signature species, Tasmanian Plantation Oak is grown in one of the world’s most productive and fertile forestry environments.
Tasmanian Plantation Oak grows quickly; Harvestable in short 15-year rotations, compared to 25-30 years for softwood plantations, Tasmanian Plantation Oak provides a unique set of opportunities.
Faster growing trees means faster absorption of carbon, and faster rotations mean more building stock more often to lock that carbon up into the built environment.
With a global shortage of timber and demand expected to quadruple by 2050 – it is the future of construction.
Products
Cross Laminated Timber. Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) is a wood panel product made by gluing together layers of solid-sawn timber. Each layer is oriented perpendicular to the previous layer to achieve better structural rigidity.
Glue Laminated Timber. Glulam removes the barriers of size, strength variation, and shape normally associated with the availability of sawn timber.
