'Elevate' an entryway. Charred for character and your visitors, natural timber with a Shou Sugi Ban finish feels good and looks even better. https://hubs.la/Q02RP0J40 Photography: JimmysProjects Architect: YSC Architects

Just like pencil shavings, timber.... No, enough of the random sayings. Let's just admire the warmth, texture and benefits that natural timber can bring to a space. Here are the top species for internal timber lining: https://hubs.la/Q02R9VJ-0

Natural beauty at a commercial standard. These spotted gum battens were installed in The Grove through our click-in Proplank system. Our ability to cut, craft and pre-coat our native hardwoods for their place in designs, continues to evolve. https://hubs.la/Q02R9WNB0

Designed by KPA Architects and built by Dale Alcock Projects, Brightwater Care Group Ltd.'s Piara Waters home for people with Huntington’s Disease was completed this year. In this edition, get an insight into the timber used for the external cladding, to assist with the sensory gardens and social areas.

Wanting to bring nature into your interiors? 🍃 Whether it's bold, black timber from a Shou Sugi Ban finish, or the refined blonde, subtle tones of our Australian natives, natural timber can be a part of many designs. Get more understanding and some inspiration in our new blog! https://lnkd.in/gxEE9g2P

Carefully specifying natural materials like timber and their low VOC coatings, can create healthier spaces for us to work in. As people spend more than 80% of their time inside buildings, we look to champion the use of timber in design. Imagine if buildings had labels listing their “ingredients”. Designs that incorporated materials such as aluminium or plastic, could resemble “junk food,” filled with chemicals and toxins.

Bring contrast to a design with the same timber species! Seen here on this NSW design, thermally-modified Vacoa was pre-coated in WOCA Black and Cutek Extreme Clear Oil. Over time, depending on the level of maintenance, the natural timber cladding will weather with the elements.

Our journey to bring luxe to the countryside, continues. This kitchen-dining space invites guests and Tasmanian oak interior lining to share more than just a meal! In our Satinplank dome profile the natural and native timber gives this country home a blonde and beautiful contribution to its material palette. #Architecture #InteriorDesign

#ShouSugiBanWeek | Day 5: What species can you use with the Shou Sugi Ban technique? Here are the species we char at Mortlock Timber: - Burnt ash😎, a thermally modified American hardwood, is ideal for Shou Sugi Ban. Its high stability and lower density allow for a deeper char layer, reducing maintenance and enhancing durability. The light brown timber takes on a sleek, contemporary look when charred, making it a premium choice at Mortlock Timber. - Irongum😮, native to eastern Australia and its durable heartwood ranges from light to dark red. When charred with Shou Sugi Ban, the interlocked grain surfaces through the char, creating a crocodile-like texture while preserving its natural beauty. - Spotted gum😠, revered for its durability and distinctive grain patterns, harmonises exceptionally well with the charring process, creating a striking visual impact. Due to its naturally high fire-resistant properties, charred spotted gum battens and cladding are often used in bushfire zones where BAL 29 is required.
