Blackbutt
Eucalyptus pilularis. Blackbutt is a species that grows in abundance in the coastal forests in New South Wales and Southern Queensland. The common name is derived from the distinctive black, charcoal look that is only on the base of the trunk. The timber is renowned for both its strength and versatility of application. Blackbutt is a straight grained timber, with a warm nutty hue which will compliment a range of designs where a lighter neutral palette is required.
Designer Profile
WOOD ELEMENTS collective features include; a straight-line edging process to ensure the cladding is machined to a fine tolerance; relief grooves which are designed to take the stress out of the cladding; a specially designed ridge locater connects with the overlap line controlling the expansion allowance for any timber movement.
Designer Trims
WOOD ELEMENTS trims provide a streamline finish and play an integral part in ensuring a water tight finish. All aluminium trims are factory fitted with waterproof gaskets*, designed to decrease the on-site sealing process, and delivery of loose materials. WOOD ELEMENTS trims are available in a black powder coated chromate treated aluminium.
Design Elements & Fixing
Extreme care has been taken in all aspects of WOOD ELEMENTS Refined Architectural Hardwood Cladding. From the environment to milling and drying, profile and trim design and species selection. Each element plays an important role in the performance of the cladding system.
Design Points
WOOD ELEMENTS is a natural product, a renewable resource, providing an environmental advantage over common building materials. Timber will only perform within the limits of its natural properties, when specifying, it’s critical that the characteristics and properties of the timber are considered and determine how they will respond to the environment they are placed in.
