Frequently Asked Questions
Why is hardwood preferred for flood-prone areas like Lismore?
Australian hardwoods have lower moisture absorption compared to softwoods, helping them withstand exposure and drying cycles. Properly seasoned timber resists warping and decay when used above ground or in well-drained applications. Choosing dense species and using suitable finishes further improves long-term performance in high-moisture regions.
What finish should I apply to timber used in exposed areas?
Use penetrating oil-based stains or clear sealers that soak into the grain and provide UV and moisture protection. For maximum performance, reapplication every 12–24 months may be needed depending on sun and rain exposure. Avoid film-forming coatings in high-wear areas, as these can crack and peel over time.
Can hardwood be used for internal walls or ceilings?
Yes—species like Blackbutt and Spotted Gum are often used for feature panelling, exposed beams and raked ceilings. These timbers bring warmth and character indoors while maintaining excellent wear resistance. Proper kiln-drying ensures minimal movement in climate-controlled interior environments.
What’s the difference between rough-sawn and dressed timber?
Rough-sawn timber is left with a coarse surface and is typically used in structural or concealed areas where finish isn’t a priority. Dressed timber is machine-planed for a smooth appearance, suitable for visible surfaces like cladding, joinery or furniture. The choice depends on aesthetics, application and cost.
