Charred (Shou Sugi Ban) finishing is available in Spotted Gum and Ironbark only. 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.

Surface Finishes

Dressed

A smooth, planed face. The default for refined interiors and ceilings where the grain should sit quietly.

All species

Band Sawn

A fine, linear saw texture that catches raking light and adds a little tactility without going rustic.

All species

Circular Sawn

Broader arced saw marks for a more worked, characterful surface.

All species

Wire Brushed

The soft grain is brushed back to raise the harder grain, emphasising texture under directional light.

All species

Charred

Shou Sugi Ban charring for a deep, matte-black surface with the grain still legible up close.

Spotted Gum & Ironbark only

Coatings

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.

Final colour shifts with species, number of coats and time outdoors, so request a sample for an accurate match. Colour swatches are indicative only.

Performance & Compliance

Screening & Battens 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.

Sustainability

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.
