Let's think the Environment - Australian Hardwood Flooring

We stock a full range of Australian Solar Timbers T&g hardwood flooring

All have been Kilned dried using custom built computer controlled and monitored solar kilns which capture and intensify the natural heat of the sun. The warm air is then circulated around the kiln chamber to dry the timber to its optimum moisture content for use in domestic and commercial applications.

Unlike conventional timber drying systems solar kilns are not dependent on fossil fuels, which is good for the environment producing less greenhouse gas emissions. Our solar kilns operate at relatively low temperatures so the drying process is extremely gentle benefiting the timber quality in producing uniformly dried and stable timber with minimal seasoning stress or degrade.
