Cladding | Mixed brown/purple/red – dressed clear oil

Like 1000’s of other New Zealanders, you have come to the right place to find stunning low maintenance, durable reclaimed exterior and interior cladding which tells a beautiful story. Milled from reclaimed telephone poles and other reclaimed timbers (mainly heartwood containing no nasty CCA treatments), the cladding is machined into various New Zealand building code compliant profiles. The unique nature of these timbers (40+ years durability) can allow for zero ongoing oiling/staining maintenance whilst naturally ageing on-site if so desired. We also sell cost effective class 2 hardwood options such as Silvertop Ash. You can of course continue to oil the timber if you wish to keep the natural colour of the hardwood.

Specifications

Our standard profiles have 115mm, 110mm, 90mm, 65mm and 55mm covers (22mm thick for sawn and 21mm thick for dressed) – this is for all of our vertical/horizontal shiplap and bevel back weatherboards. Whether you are after a dressed face or sawn face, all have a similar price per m2 so it makes things nice and simple when it comes to selecting your preferred hardwood cladding option.

Why hardwood cladding over other timber options?

  • Durability: our class 1 timbers have a 40+ year natural durability vs some other timbers that are only class 3 timbers with 7-15 years of durability.
  • Virtually maintenance free: no need to keep oiling/staining once the cladding is installed as other timber products require. The only reason you need to oil / stain is to keep the colour.
  • Sustainable/reclaimed: the timber comes from reclaimed power poles providing a very sustainable resource (125-150 lineal metres can be milled from every pole).
  • Superior performance: proven to perform exceptionally well in the harshest environments.
  • Suitable for marine and sea spray zones: hardwood has been used for 100’s of years in marine environments and performs exceptionally well.
  • Cost Effective: with the construction industry seeing a surge in various building products and in particular the likes of cedar cladding, we are extremely cost competitive so please get in touch to get a quote.

About the
Seller

Passionate about sustainability, LMA Timber offers a superior selection of hardwood products tailored for the construction industry. We have collaborated carefully selected Australian Hardwood suppliers in Australia, all recipients of numerous awards for their commitment to delivering high-quality reclaimed and sustainable timber.

Established in 2017, our business originated from inspiration drawn from a Grand Designs episode featuring reclaimed Australian hardwood cladding. A subsequent investigation revealed that the main timber cladding options in New Zealand primarily consisted of high-maintenance softwoods (class 2 – 15 to 40 years naturally durable), such as cedar, larch, and thermally modified products. The discovered hardwood, distinguished by its superior performance, durability, low maintenance, and sustainable attributes, marked the beginning of our success story. Today, architects, designers, and builders widely regard it as their number one choice for not only cladding but structural beams, posts, decking, flooring amongst other hardwood products.

In October 2019 when LMA Timber joined forces with the Caldwell Group (AKA Trade Co), owners of ITM Dyers Road, VIP Frame and Truss amongst other businesses. With a combined experience of 40 years, this partnership enhances our market position, allowing us to provide unparalleled value and service to our customers. Regarded as being the largest and most trusted supplier of reclaimed / sustainably sourced Australian hardwoods, our reputation is firmly enforced by the prestigious projects we have been involved with around New Zealand

Our main warehouse along with purpose built showroom is based in Christchurch.  This allows us to carry large volumes of stock (particularly cladding and decking) so that we can meet your projects needs in a timely fashion. Our second purpose built showroom is currently under construction and will be opened towards the end of April 2024. Additionally, we share a showroom in Auckland with High Performer Building where a sample of our products can also be viewed.

At ArchiPro we recognise and acknowledge the existing, original and ancient connection Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have to the lands and waterways across the Australian continent. We pay our respects to the elders past and present. We commit to working together to build a prosperous and inclusive Australia.
