Australian Timber Cladding & Lining
Designed to age gracefully
When looking to make a statement, a timber feature should definitely be at the top of the list.
As a WA Family Owned and Grown Business, Franz Building Supplies is excited to have strengthened our relationship with Hurford’s, one of the oldest Australian timber manufacturing businesses that is still family owned and operated.
The WOOD ELEMENTS and SHOU SUGI BAN ranges are complete hardwood cladding solutions for any wall, offering not just the cladding but all the detailed trims required to finish off the project and ensure a premium result. With some care and attention these claddings allow for buildings to change and age gracefully telling a story of their history.
To continue this natural Timber finish as you enter the home we now also stock BARNWALL and WOODLINE timber linings.
Milled using a straight-line edging process to ensure the cladding is machined to a fine tolerance, along with relief grooves which are designed to take the stress out of the cladding, reducing the effect of warping and cupping. Hurfords specially designed ridge locater connects with the overlap line providing an effortless straight-line finish, simultaneously controlling the expansion allowance for timber movement.
SHOU SUGI BAN
Hurford’s Shou Sugi Ban Refined Architectural Cladding combines the ancient Japanese craft of fire treatment with a precision milled, architectural cladding profile.
Hurford’s uses a modernised Shou Sugi Ban technique that evenly chars the face of the board. By applying this ancient fire treatment it not only provides a beautiful finish it creates an additional barrier of protection against insect attack and decay. With our stocked range also having a BAL-29 rating through the use of durable Australian Hardwoods there are very few zones this product cannot be utilised.
