Reflecting both modern designer tones and native timber species, our catalogue of luxury oil and lacquer colours naturally enhances Royal Paulownia’s stunningly straight grain.

Formulated through extensive collaboration with the world’s leading coating specialists, we utilise only pigmented colourants (i.e. non-dyes) for greater colour preservation and durability.

Lacquer finish: Our lacquer collection features a 360° UV-cured finish that yields a contemporary look.

Oil finish: Our proprietary hybrid exterior grade oil penetrates the timber, leaving a long-lasting, wax-like protective moisture barrier and a silky-smooth finish on the surface.

Being a genuine solid hardwood, our colours may vary from samples and among lining boards – it is this variation that gives timber its natural beauty and appeal.

Known as the aluminium of timber, the Royal Paulownia tree (pronounced “paul-own-ia”) is an incredibly lightweight and dimensionally stable hardwood, resulting in minimal cupping and shrinkage gaps between lining boards. It features a stunning straight, silky grain and a natural blonde patina, allowing it to take to stains exceptionally well.

Its speed of growth, knot-free structure (and thus low-waste), and inherent resistance to termites and borers make for a highly sustainable timber solution, and resulted in significant plantation investments throughout Australia and North America. However, it’s seldom available domestically; rather it is exported to Japan where it is highly prized and as such yields a premium price.
