Treated to H3 classification (per AS1604 Specification for Preservative Treatment), IronAsh can be used externally in partnership with GoodWood Victorian Ash to allow continuous flow of timber design from inside to out.

Because of the stunning blonde tones of Iron Ash timber, you can stain and paint it to almost any colour. The water-based H3 treatment doesn’t affect the colour of the timber, which means that you can easily match internal joinery with external joinery.

IronAsh is a great choice to finish the project. It can be easily cut, stained and painted on site. The IronAsh range offers an affordable timber choice that is stable and readily available

Sustainability

Sustainable timber helps beat climate change.

Using well managed, sustainable timber is the best option to reduce carbon emissions caused by the building industry. IRON ASH (H3 treated Victorian ash) is PEFC certified and stores carbon for life. In addition, Australian hardwood has one of the best Environmental Product Declarations possible, making it the ultimate renewable.
