Properties

Reconstituted timber products

Many reconstituted timber products are made from forestry waste with minimal energy or chemical input, high manufacturing waste recovery and water recycling. These products are among the most sustainable of all cladding options. Try to ensure that forestry waste rather than saw log grade timbers are used and that the product contains no old growth forest products.

Embodied Energy

The energy consumed by all of the processes associated with the production of a building, from the mining and processing of natural resources to manufacturing, transport and product delivery.

Timber cladding is among the lowest embodied energy cladding material available in Australia.

Maintenance

Moderate maintenance is required. Surface and directional stability can reduce maintenance required.
