Benefits of Recycled Timber

Who Likes Shiny Brand Named Items?
Many people search
out and buy the newest trendy items. One of the greatest
new trends is green and the benefits to using
Antique
Timber surpasses not only the urge to be environmental
but the lustre and quality of the wood highly surpasses
any new timbers available anywhere in the world.
Second Hand or Recycled Timber is often misconstrued
as something that is old rustic wood instead it is an
extremely rare and sought after timber because of it’s
high quality, stability , high lustre patina, and strong
durability.
Aged Antique Vintage wood was often
harvested 300 years ago when the trees were fully
matured mammoths. The quality of this wood far surpasses
any new timber products. New timber is sawn from
immature trees often not even 30 years old or they are
harvested from illegal forests.
Antique Timber
has been cut and air dried over decades allowing it to
be a completely stabile timber compared to new wood
which has the potential to move and requires more on
site acclimatizing and installation preparation.
Aged timber has an exquisite appearance showing
superior grain and the depth of color which far exceeds
the shallow pale look of new wood.
Aged timber is
available in longer larger sections some up to 400 x 400
x 10m or up to 300 mm wide compared to new timber that
generally has limited supply in these sizes.
With
diminishing forests worldwide and a push for green
products aged timber is a perfect choice in
construction. Unlike new timber, aged timber has an
ongoing life it can be reused over and over again...
There is also a push for Natural products to balance
modern buildings with old and new construction materials
being the NEW LOOK.
In the past
recycled timber
has been hard to access, hard to work and not available
in commercial quantities, that has changed in the last
20 years with companies such as ours offering a
wide
selection and commercial quantities for small and large
construction projects.
