What begins with timber in its most basic form can these days result in the most advanced of products.
From the versatility of plywood, the creation of massive glulam beams or even beautifully crafted veneer, engineered wood products provide a varied range of materials that use timber for an increasing list of both structural, functional and design applications.
These products are not only helping to redefine modern construction practices, but show that wood can rival more traditional building products in terms of its environmental impact, strength, cost, finish and workability.
Cross Laminated Timber (CLT)
Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) is an engineered wood product, similar in construction to an extremely large plywood, used for pre-fabricated structural applications.
Decorative Wood Veneers
Decorative wood veneers highlight the natural beauty of timber. They are produced by either slicing or peeling a much larger piece of timber log into thin slices or veneers.
Glulam
Glulam, short for glued laminated timber, is an engineered wood product manufactured by gluing together pieces of timber, known as laminates. This process produces larger size and longer length members, which can be curved or straight.
I-Beams
I-Beams offer a high-strength, long-span structural timber beam which can be used for residential and commercial building applications.
Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL)
Laminated Veneer Lumber is a high-strength engineered wood product made from veneers bonded together under heat and pressure. It is used for permanent structural applications including beams and rafters.
Medium Density Fibreboard (MDF)
Medium Density Fibreboard is an interior-use engineered wood panel product, manufactured from wood fibres.
Oriented Strand Board (OSB)
Oriented Strand Board (OSB) is a structural panel product produced by bonding together thin wood strands with adhesive.
Particleboard also know as Chipboard
Particleboard is an interior-use engineered wood panel product, manufactured from wood particles.
Plywood
Plywood is wood veneers bonded together to produce a flat sheet. An extremely versatile product, plywood is used for a wide range of structural, interior and exterior applications - from formwork through to internal paneling.
Roundwood
Roundwood is any timber product supplied in log form, which is usually used for structural applications.
Sawn Timber
Sawn timber is cut from logs into different shapes and sizes. Common sawn timber products include solid timber beams and more rectangular timber sections.
Structural Composite Lumber (SCL)
Structural Composite Lumber (SCL) is a family of engineered wood products used for structural applications.
Treated Plywood
Treated plywood provides added durability for a range of applications.
Treated Roundwood
Treated roundwood provides added durability to logs, poles piles and posts, helping to protect them from weathering and in-ground contact.
Treated Sawn Timber
Treated sawn timber adds durability and helps to protect timber products from hazards such as decay, termites and borers.
