Rosenfeld Kidson can now offer its INTERSET® Recessed Window Flashing System for vertical and horizontal shiplap timber cladding. The system is comprised of a set of aluminium flashings and thermoplastic stop-ends that interlink to form a picture-framed window recess. The system enables aluminium windows to be recessed to the framing line from the outer façade, providing a natural 65mm deep window recess.
This clever solution achieves a clean and contemporary look but also improves thermal and weather-tightness performance.
INTERSET flashings are used exclusively in conjunction with the Cedarscreen Vertical or Horizontal 45mm structural cavity systems, suitable for timber cladding options of Western Red Cedar, European Larch or Truwood®, a thermally modified timber.
Rosenfeld Kidson & Co. Ltd is a specialist timber company stocking New Zealand’s largest range of over 50 species of specialist timbers, both imported and locally grown. These timbers are distributed to joiners, furniture manufacturers, cabinetmakers, boat builders, flooring contractors and the construction industry throughout the country, primarily via selected timber merchant resellers.
The company was incorporated in 1930 when John Kidson and Australian Julius Rosenfeld formed a partnership to import hardwood from Australia. New South Wales hardwoods were in demand during the depression years for wharf and bridge construction, as well as power reticulation.
For the next 65 years the company operated from The Strand in Parnell, Auckland, before moving in 1996 to new purpose built premises in Mt Wellington - an 11,000m2 site with 2000m2 drive-through warehouse and another 1000m2 of covered storage. The business also operates a second 2500m2 site in Auckland where its state of the art timber processing facility is located. It also has a second sales and warehouse facility in Hornby, Christchurch, which manages distribution to our South Island customers.
As Rosenfeld Kidson approaches 90 years in business, the company is in its fourth generation of ownership and operation. The success and longevity of the company has largely hinged on the efforts and experience of dedicated and loyal staff, who are able to provide our customers with a wealth of knowledge about the specialist timbers we sell.
