Cedar wood is renowned for its exceptional durability and natural resistance to outdoor weather conditions, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of exterior applications such as fencing, decking, and siding. Its inherent oils and fine grain structure contribute to its resilience against moisture, decay, and insect damage. Compared to softer woods like pine, cedar wood's longevity is significantly greater, reducing the need for frequent maintenance and replacement.
Thermo Radiata Pine wood is versatile and affordable, making it ideal for a wide range of applications. Virtually knot/defect free, it serves as a cost-conscious alternative to cedar timber.
Although Pine is softer and less durable, it can be treated with preservatives to significantly enhance its resistance to decay and insect damage. Pine’s adaptability also allows for various finishes, making it an excellent canvas for staining, painting, or varnishing to achieve the desired look.
Sapele wood, with its medium to dark reddish-brown or purplish-brown hue, offers stunning ribboning when quarter-sawn, showcasing a striking visual effect that enhances its appeal in high-end applications. This hardwood is known for its fine, interlocking grain, providing both strength and aesthetic beauty. When flat-sawn, Sapele serves as an attractive alternative to Mahogany, offering similar durability and elegance at a more accessible price point.
Redwood timber is highly prized for its exceptional durability, rich colour, and natural resistance to decay and insects. Treated to UC3 standards, Redwood battens are providing long-lasting performance even in moist environments. Redwood’s sustainable harvesting practices further enhance its appeal, ensuring that it remains an environmentally responsible choice for construction and landscaping projects.
