Vulcan Joinery - Vertical Grain
With patented vertical grain technology, this laminated, thermally modified joinery timber delivers superb thermal conductivity and dimensional stability throughout the years in either a paint or stain finish.
Timber joinery has made a comeback in modern homes, due to its wellness and sustainability benefits as well as its naturally warm look and feel.
Vulcan Joinery - Vertical Grain is created from thermally modified New Zealand plantation timber and engineered with a vertical grain construction for superior weathering characteristics.
The thermal modification process combined with lamination means Vulcan Joinery has enhanced stability, reduced resin content, is a beautiful homogenous brown colour, and is naturally durable so does not require any chemical preservatives.
Available in a variety of blanked sizes, we supply joinery timber mainly of 4.2m lengths, as well as customisable thermally modified Vulcan timber blocks ready for joinery craftsmen to work with.
From a rapidly renewable source, Vulcan Joinery – Vertical Grain timber is an ideal replacement for old-growth species such as Meranti and Western Red Cedar.
With all these benefits, it is an excellent choice for windows, doors and interior timber joinery in both paint and stain finish.

Can you provide custom sizes or cuts based on specific project requirements?

The timber is supplied in rough sawn format for use by manufacturers. Machining and finishing is completed by third party manufacturers.
Is Vulcan Joinery timber best suited to a coating or painted finish?
