Mouldings
We produce precision-engineered timber mouldings using state-of-the-art Weinig machines. Our capabilities include standard and bespoke profiles for architectural and construction applications. With over four decades of expertise, we transform raw timber into custom sections meeting exact project specifications.
Cladding
Our timber cladding solutions combine aesthetic appeal with durability for residential and commercial buildings. Available in Western Red Cedar, ThermoWood, and other premium species, all treated for enhanced weather resistance and longevity.
Engineered Timber
We manufacture finger-jointed engineered timber products that improve stability and performance. These solutions reduce waste while maintaining natural wood aesthetics, ideal for windows, doors, and structural applications.
Laminating
Our on-site laminating press creates custom composite timber sections by bonding multiple laminations. This process enhances dimensional stability and allows production of large-format components for architectural projects.
Machining
We offer CNC machining services for bespoke timber components, including stair parts, door frames, and structural elements. Advanced CAD integration ensures accuracy to 0.1mm tolerances for complex architectural designs.
