How Wood

Key Features:

• Traditional profile beveled back timber weatherboards
• Sustainable radiata pine
• 6 metre lengths
• Pre-primed on all four sides
• SmartClip - unique patented clip that simply slots into the specially designed groove on the back of the weatherboards
• This is screwed into the stud at the head of each board.
• No drilling, nails, puttying or face damage.

• The precision of the posts along with accurate jointing creates clean lines throughout the flowing curves, offering an attractive aesthetic suitable for driveways and entranceways requiring strong aesthetics.

• The house consists of an elemental two-level rectangular box sitting above a concrete basement level.
• An external steel structure with a completely glass skin is contrasted by a timber interior that offers a natural warmth.
• The timber flooring throughout the house is a tongue and groove Victorian Ash that provides a clean-cut elegance.
• The ceilings consist of a clear stained ply lining with raw LVL ceiling joists left exposed on the intermediate level.
• Internally, the space is defined by movable panels clad in a Mahogany Sapele crown-cut veneer.
• The overall effect is a pure architecture with an emphasis on the innate quality of the materials.

• Height constraints and a contractor familiar with lightweight construction led to a timber-framed option being developed for these inner-city apartments.
• A reinforced concrete car park was formed on the ground level, with a six-level timber-framed superstructure sitting above.
• Most apartments are studios, with relatively small proportions, meaning bracing lines were available at 4 m centres in each direction.
• Grade F8 timber studs are used, with plywood nail fixed over them.
• Floors consist of 19 mm plywood fixed over timber I-section joists.
• This apartment block demonstrates that multi-storey buildings can be built successfully from timber.

• This conference facility is part of an 800 ha organic farm.
• The building structure is a modern interpretation of a traditional cruck-framed long barn.
• A parabolic arch form was created to mimic the function of the traditional cruck frame without the need to source large, naturally curved sections or to use fabricated glue-laminated sections.
• The arches are faceted in lengths of seasoned Douglas fir, with laminated timber knuckles.
• The wood has been left unfinished apart from a light sandblast that allows the texture to show.
• Walls and ceiling are lined in ash and the flooring is oak.

• The flanges are made from laminated veneer lumber (LVL), which is intended for structural use.
• The web situated between the two flanges is constructed from plywood.
• The product is used predominantly to support the floor in a building, but can also be used as a rafter to support the roof.
• Hyjoist has an expected life span of 50 years when used in dry protected areas.

• This museum building provides space for timber restoration and conservation.
• The building consists of a timber gridshell covering a flexible space used as both a workshop and function venue.
• The undulating structure is made from a weave of curving oak laths that reach up to 50 m in length.
• This slim and flexible construction technique projects a feeling of lightness and transparency while the resulting organic form allows the building to sit naturally in the rural landscape.
