OPTIONAL FINISHES

OPTIONAL TIMBER FINISHES

Timber finishes provide a final layer in influencing the way the timber looks. 
Finishes for internal uses can be classified as clear polyurethanes, oils and stains.

River Redgum’s beautiful appearance commands attention, leaving little need for colour stains. 
It's best left natural with a clear finish, hand rub or natural oiling.

Our sample kit has been finished with satin, polyurethane sealer and coated with french polish shellac.

River Redgum slabs are suitable for an array of finishes including oils, high gloss and satins.

Polyurethanes create a clear film over the timber in satin, semi gloss and gloss sheen levels. Lower levels of sheen (satin) help hide imperfections in the flatness of large areas such as floor boards. In contrast high gloss has the opposite effect due to increased reflectivity. Even so it allows easier cleaning and there is less likelihood of mould growth caused by the condensation of steam, fats and oils which occur in kitchens and wet areas. All gloss levels can be formulated to have anti-yellowing agents to prevent the dis- colouring brought about by long term exposure to ultraviolet light (Note: only light coloured timber species are noticeably affected). Clear finishes can also be formulated to provide various levels of impact resistance and therefore some are more applicable than others where high traffic usage is involved (e.g. floors).


Oils differ from clear finishes as they soak into the timber and therefore loose the features associated with a protective film. 
They also tend to create a different appearance by looking more natural and creating a lustre.

Stains are similar to oils in the way they soak into the timber and provide a relatively flat, unsealed appearance. Perhaps the main difference is that stains have a colouring agent that aims to tint the natural timber to provide an altered appearance. It is also possible to use stains in conjunction with clear finishes where the latter is used to provide gloss and a protective film over the stain.

 ADVANTAGES

Reclaimed timber is not only environmentally friendly. Some of the timber logs in our yard date back over 1000 years and have been collected nationwide. 

Such logs have stood the test of time through harsh weather conditions and possess incredulous durability and strength.

 It is Ancient Timber Slabs by Nullarbor's mission to ensure that these magnificent timbers are not in any way wasted, discarded or devalued. Rather, through our unique drying and milling process, we ensure every piece is value added to its maximum potential.  

Unlike many other infant timber suppliers, Ancient Timber Slabs by Nullarbor offer you the advantage of purchasing a product that has been seasoned by time. Our slabs are dried and cured in their most natural state with 10% or less moisture content. You will not find a bigger collection of slabs on the planet in which the drying process is native to the product itself and its best end use. 

With a huge range of different species available , we find many of the red gum slabs have been milled from ringbarked trees during colonial days. The benefits of such rare timbers provide unique colours and characteristics such as size which just can't be reproduced from today's plantation timbers.

ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY 

{ Timber Slab Salvage }
Our log timbers are acquired from diverse sources Australia wide and have been harvested for reasons other than raw timber demand. They range from domestic tree felling, farmland clearing, bush fire affected and fire break land clearing. These timbers make up a huge portion of our current stock pile that without demand may have found their way to a wood chipper, land fill, landscaping or even fire wood. Permits and regulation are generally required for these timbers to be removed.


{ Renewable Projects }
Ancient Timber Slabs by Nullarbor is committed to making substantial annual donations to community groups for the planting of replacement trees.
