                                  Timber is a natural material, so some variation in grain and colour is to be expected. Speak to our team to make sure your chosen species suits the project.

                                  We coat dressed boards with a penetrating oil system that protects timber from the inside, so it won't form a film that can flake or peel. An optional Colourtone is mixed into the oil to set the timber's tone and slow the natural greying that happens outdoors.

                                  Coatings apply to the dressed finish only. Other surface finishes are supplied uncoated.

                                  Newport Channel cladding is supplied with the evidence specifiers ask for: species-specific data sheets, bushfire (BAL) and fire-group documentation, and durability ratings. Most ratings vary by species, so figures are confirmed against your selection rather than quoted as a blanket number.

                                  Timber is only a low-carbon choice if it is sourced and used well. Our boards come from PEFC chain-of-custody certified supply, and we make products that are built to last: durable species and quality coatings that keep boards in service for decades rather than years.

                                  Offcuts and short lengths are re-used where a job allows, and sawdust and shavings are recovered rather than landfilled. At end of life, solid timber can be re-milled, repurposed or composted.
