Biowood is an architectural timber composite solution that retains the aesthetic of timber without the problems of splitting, warping, and general timber repairs or maintenance. There is plenty to love about the innovative, next‑generation composite timber, such as its BAL 29 range, low maintenance good looks, lightweight yet durable composition, and its unique ability to be lightly sanded and UV sealed years down the track.
Biowood composite is suitable for a wide range of applications, including exterior and internal wall cladding, curved walls, kitchen benches, soffits, ceiling lining and fencing.
