Untreated Framing Materials

Structural timber is used for residential and commercial building framing. It has evolved from years of development in the manufacturing process with machine stress grading & kiln drying techniques with advanced control equipment. All structural timber is from renewable plantation pine, grown in sustainably managed, Australian Forestry Standard (AFS) or FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certified plantations. You can be confident that every stick has been quality assured and graded and tested according to Australian Standards. Framing timber combines strength and cost-effectiveness with total design flexibility. Pine Framing has been used by generations of Australian builders and is preferred over other structural materials due to its high strength to weight ratio, flexibility and ease of use. Pine is the ideal building material as it's widely available and competitively priced.
