Aesthetic Appeal

Glacial Oak has a blonde appearance, offering a sleek, modern look that complements a wide range of interior styles. The timber is select grade, ensuring a clean and consistent finish. The timber’s straight grain and uniform texture add to its appeal, making it an excellent choice for feature walls and ceiling linings.

While its natural light hue is desirable, Glacial Oak also stains exceptionally well, allowing homeowners to achieve customised finishes that match any design vision. Whether a natural timber look is preferred or a darker stain to complement specific interiors, Glacial Oak provides versatility in achieving the perfect aesthetic.

Durability and Strength

Glacial Oak is a medium-density hardwood, balancing strength and workability, making it suitable for high-traffic areas. In addition to its strength, Glacial Oak has a BAL 19 rating, ideal for homes in bushfire-prone areas.

Wall linings and feature walls – Adding warmth and texture to residential and commercial spaces
Ceiling linings – Creating visually striking ceilings that enhance architectural appeal
