Find the right timber for your project

To make it easier to determine which timber species and product would best suit your project, we look at two free tools available to help you.

How to choose decking and pergola timbers

The choice between different types of timbers for decking and pergolas can be a bewildering one, simply because there are so many different options.

Solid core timber doors

Solid core timber's sturdiness, beauty and customisability all make this material a popular choice for front and rear entrances, as well as for interior doors.

Wooden floorboards

Floorboards provide a classic, natural look designed to showcase the wood grain creating a warm glow in a home. Both domestic and exotic wood species can be used for the boards - each type of wood has unique properties that will need to be catered for.

Timber framing

Timber is the most commonly used material for building Australian house frames. Timber framed houses are usually built using radiata pine, however a number of other species are also commonly used.
