Australian Sustainable Hardwoods

Timber is more than a building material, it’s part of the Australian way of life. Around 80 per cent of Australian homes use sustainable timber framing because it’s safe, reliable and cost-effective. At ASH, we manufacture the structural hardwood that helps make these homes possible, right here in Victoria!

Great to see our Tassie Oak, sold as Australian Oak, find its way into beautifully crafted windows and doors across Australian homes!

Thanks to the team at Aspect Windows for highlighting some of the many reasons Tassie Oak is such an excellent choice for window and door applications.

Great to welcome the Wellington Shire Council to our Heyfield site! We were happy to open our doors and show them our local manufacturing capabilities firsthand.

Thanks again to Council for taking the time to learn more about what we do!

This is CASE in action on a project site in South Australia. Every panel is manufactured locally by ASH before making its way to site, where it's lifted straight into place and secured by the install crew. No guesswork, no delays, just deliver, lift, lower, and install, section by section.

Because CASE panels arrive factory-cut and lined, a single lift does the work that can traditionally takes multiple trades and multiple weeks. It means less time on scaffold, fewer trades queuing on site, and it's all backed by Australian manufacturing from start to finish!

Prefab: Candour - Architectural Prefabrication
Architect: Ha Architecture
Builder: The Little Build Co.

Australian Sustainable Hardwoods Pty Ltd (ASH) is aware of a recent program containing misleading, factually incorrect and damaging claims about ASH. We are deeply disappointed and are actively working through our legal options.

The conclusion of the story was determined before filming began. The program showed heavy bias and ignored facts that did not fit their narrative, including clear, documented evidence supplied to them that contradicted the claims they chose to air.

Timber in Australia is sustainably managed and is the ultimate renewable.

We have addressed the facts directly in a statement here:

We love seeing our timber used in beautifully crafted homes right here in our region!

This modern home, built by Szkwarek Builders, showcases our Glacial Oak secret fix timber lining, which creates a smooth, naturally clean ceiling finish without visible fixings.

To tie the look together, matching Glacial Oak battens have been used to create a feature screening wall, perfectly complementing the ceiling and adding warmth throughout the space. A fantastic example of timber in contemporary home design.

This flawless finish started with what’s hidden. Learn more here: https://ap1.hubs.ly/y0XzYn0

Huge thanks to Architecture & Design for featuring the Normanville Beach House by Adam Johnson Design. This home is a stunning example of what happens when you let the timber do the talking.

Our Australian Oak SUPASPAN range was used for its structural performance and its beauty. The exposed timber beams bring warmth, character, and a natural connection to the coastal surroundings of the home.

Paired with our Australian Oak lining and IronAsh cladding and battens, it's a project that shows the full potential of an all-ASH material palette, inside and out!
