Other Species
Our softwood product range is available in a huge variety of local and imported species including our speciality, Western Red Cedar.
Designed to meet the requirements of both residential and commercial applications, our softwood and Western Red Cedar panelling products offer excellent thermal and acoustic insulation, as well as maintaining a beautiful, distinctive appearance.
We are recognised as Australia’s largest importer and processor of Western Red Cedar products and have specialised in the manufacture of softwood panelling and mouldings for over three decades. The special characteristics of Western Red Cedar make it particularly suited to internal panelling. The timber’s excellent insulation properties will increase a building’s energy rating. It’s popularity is further increased by cedar’s natural resistance to termites, very low shrinkage factor, and excellent finishing properties.
Our machine profiled tongue and groove panelling is manufactured from selected Western Red Cedar stock and graded to Select Appearance grade, which for mainstream items like panelling, means that it is free of all knots, defects and similar blemishes on the primary face, whereas traces of the disallowed characteristics may appear on the back face. Designers, architects and selectors looking for a more formal, elegant appearance, particularly when boards are finished with a dressed face, will find the select appearance grade panels most appealing.
Sizes and Profiles
Our standard range of softwood panelling profiles comprises four basic profiles – Shiplap, Vee Joint and Regency in 9mm and a rounded edge profile in 12 mm. The rounded edge option is designed to specifically meet the requirements of the Sauna industry, but it can also be used for other applications where the rich warmth of sauna panelling creates a desirable effect.
Shiplap profiles are typically 9 mm thick with a 12mm wide groove at 5 degrees off vertical, with 84 and 133 cover options. Rather than being simply square-profiled, our full range of shiplap panels are machined with a light easing on all corners which affords them a slightly softer appearance and contributes significantly to the adhesion of coating materials. This is particularly important for products exposed to external weather conditions.
Vee joint profiles offer 86 or 137 mm cover with the centre V available in the 137 mm cover range. They are 9 mm thick and the V angle is 45 degrees off the 1 mm shoulder. Regency profiles are available in 84 and 133 mm cover and are also 9 mm thick, and our sauna profile range offers 84 mm cover and is 9 mm thick.
Beyond our standard range of stock profiles, customised detailing can readily be accommodated, and this flexibility affords designers the opportunity to tailor design their panelling to suit their buildings.
