Services
Machining
Our advanced Weinig moulders enable precision machining of timber into bespoke profiles. We transform raw materials into tailored components for joinery, windows, and architectural features. Clients benefit from rapid turnaround times and exact specifications matched to project requirements.
Laminating
On-site laminating presses create stable, wide-section timber products by bonding individual laminations. This process enhances structural integrity while reducing warping risks. Ideal for stair components and window boards requiring dimensional stability.
Cladding
We supply sustainably sourced timber cladding in various profiles for residential and commercial buildings. Options include Western Red Cedar and Iroko with natural insulation properties. Custom machining ensures architectural design compatibility.
Engineered Timber
Finger-jointed engineered timber products combine durability with aesthetic appeal. Our solutions improve stability for applications like flooring and structural beams. PEFC-certified materials reduce waste through efficient manufacturing processes.
Accoya Products
We supply Accoya timber with enhanced durability from responsibly managed forests. Its acetylation process provides exceptional resistance to decay and moisture. Suitable for windows, decking, and exterior joinery requiring low maintenance.
