Why choosing the right timber matters

Crafting the best timber windows and doors begins with selecting the most suitable timber. Each species has distinctive characteristics that can transform your Melbourne property’s facade, performance and liveability. From intricate grains to energy rating compliance, the ideal timber enhances your property’s architectural beauty and functional efficiency.

Our range of timber types

With so many species of timber available, each with different qualities, choosing the best option for your windows and doors can be daunting. Use our helpful guide to help you select the right one for your Melbourne project.

Tasmanian Oak

Elegant and sophisticated, Tasmanian Oak is a premium choice for timber windows and doors. Its delicate, fine-grained texture and soft, pale, earthy hues add natural warmth and timelessness to architectural elements. Perfect for paintwork and staining, its flawless finish is ideally suited to window and door joinery.

Structurally robust, Tasmanian Oak securely holds fasteners and accepts adhesives. Classified as a Durability Class 3 timber, it is long-lasting and reliable when appropriately protected, making it an ideal selection for high quality window and door frames.

Flooded Gum

Flooded Gum, also known as Grandis in Australia, is one of the best timbers for exterior-facing doors and windows. The soft pinky-brown tones and classic appearance of this eucalyptus hardwood add warmth, visual appeal and character to architectural designs, particularly complementing Australian homes.

With remarkable weather resistance properties, our responsibly sourced and FSC-certified Flooded Gum easily withstands Melbourne’s climate. Its structural integrity, consistent colouring and smooth grain make it highly suited to our precisely manufactured, high-quality timber windows and doors.

Flooded Gum reacts well to paint finishes, timber stains and oils and can be coated in any colour to radically transform its appearance to suit the desired look and colour palate.

Blackbutt timber

A native Australian hardwood, Blackbutt is an outstanding timber choice known for its hardiness. It works beautifully indoors and out, and its robust strength and superior fire-resistant properties make it particularly suitable for challenging environmental conditions.

With its distinctive grain, classic look and visual appeal, our Blackbutt timber is available in standard and select grades. Ideal for bushfire-prone regions and natural landscapes, we often recommend Blackbutt for Mornington Peninsula builds and other sites where there is a bushfire overlay.

American Oak

A medium-density hardwood, American Oak is well known for its versatility and traditional appearance. It is suitable for a natural, understated look or a more refined appearance. Its blonde hues beautifully capture the natural timber grain, making it ideal for both interiors and exteriors when appropriately treated.

Strong and durable, select-grade American Oak transforms windows and doors into architectural statements. The fine-grain texture, ideal for stains and polishes, gives a sophisticated finish suitable for both residential and commercial projects.

Accoya

Accoya is a premium timber grown in New Zealand and Chile, then treated in the Netherlands. It has exceptional resilience and is FSC-certified. Engineered to withstand extreme weather conditions, it also resists decay, warping and shrinkage.

In addition to its environmental credentials, Accoya’s uniform appearance, clean lines and low-maintenance profile give it a minimalist appeal that turns architectural elements into features. With a 50-year warranty for above-ground applications, Accoya is a cutting-edge timber solution that combines sophistication with extraordinary functional performance.
