Straight, stable and consistent
Australian Oak is considered a medium density hardwood comprising of three species, Eucalyptus delegatensis, Eucalyptus regnans and Eucalyptus obliqua which are very similar visually and carry similar properties. Grown in Victoria and Tasmania. Colour naturally variable from pale pink to pale straw, and it will take stains or paints very well. Density is quoted as approximately 680kg/m3 dry, with in service movement considered to be low. It is quartersawn, illustrated by growth rings being perpendicular to the face of the board when looking at the end profile. This creates a more stable product with an even and consistent grain. Australian Oak is carefully air-dried and then kiln-dried to an approximate 9-11% moisture content.
Beautiful, strong and durable
Australian Oak has never been considered durable enough to use in external situations. Exquisitely beautiful, yes. Affordable, yes. But too prone to the weather to be practical? Until now that is. New IronAsh uses innovative technology to place a unique combination of water-based additives deep into the core of Australian Oak. Treated to H3 classification, IronAsh can now be used in any build to allow the continuous flow of timber design from inside to out. That’s why IronAsh is a great choice for your building project, being able to specify the same wood internally and externally now ensures a seamless beautiful finish and absolute customer satisfaction.
Guaranteed to perform
IronAsh is the result of years of careful research by Australian Sustainable Hardwoods and their partners. The preservative used has been registered with the APVMA and a code mark developed for the True-Core process treated wood that exceeds the penetration required by the Australian Standards AS1604-1. True-Core is an environmentally responsible, water-based treatment that includes insecticides to combat pests and azoles to fight decay. It gets deep into the core of the wood so you can cross cut, trim and mitre without having to re-apply a preservative. ASH is so sure of their new IronAsh that it comes with a 25 year guarantee that it will exceed or meet all Australian “H3” standards for exterior timber decay and termites.
IronAsh Cladding
Using innovative technology Australian Oak can be used throughout a home, and outside too instead of having to consider dense heavy species externally. IronAsh Cladding uses a unique treatment, non-toxic Tru-Core treating deep into the core of the wood. Durable to H3 classification IronAsh becomes one of the most affordable hardwoods fit for external use. Speak to your architect about incorporating IronAsh Cladding to your blueprint.
