Radial Timber
Sponsor of the Best Use of Solid Timber Cladding Award
Radial Timber produces more timber from smaller trees by using natural principles to saw logs into wedges. Sawing timber this way produces either perfectly quarter sawn wedge sectors or back sawn boards. These boards can be used unseasoned in products like Radcon Weatherboards, Board and Batten and Random Deck or profiled into almost any conventional timber such as Shiplap cladding, Decking, Screen Boards or Lining products. More timber out of a log means fewer trees are needed to produce the same volume of timber. Radial Timber – using wood wisely.
