Five reasons for choosing Timbercrete

Striking Appearance

Amazing Performance

Wonderful Durability

Saves the Environment

Saves You Money


Striking Appearance

The first thing you notice about Timbercrete is its uniquely beautiful appearance. Each brick and block has been carefully handcrafted, adding character and elegance that is impossible to replicate. With unheard of versatility, Timbercrete allows you to design your own brick, so that you choose the size, colour, texture and shape. Timbercrete homes attract admiration from both friends and passer-bys, and boast a great resell value.


WallingAmazing Performance

Living in a Timbercrete home is an absolute pleasure with its impressive sound absorption qualities and up to six times the thermal insulation of conventional bricks. This means your home can be your peaceful and ever comfortable sanctuary, whilst helping you save both your money and the environment. Timbercrete’s unique composition gives you all the benefits of bricks, yet allows you to nail or screw into it like timber. It also has less accumulative shrinkage and expansion than concrete and clay bricks, which means you can avoid those nasty cracks and other problems. Maintenance is easy with the single skin range, because you never have to patch, clean, wallpaper or repaint fragile gyprock internal walls.

As a landscaping product it is wonderfully easy and forgiving to lay. With the ability to design your own blocks, its versatility allows you to be as creative as you like. Furthermore Timbercrete makes a fantastic paving product because it does not become slippery like mudbricks, and because it does not radiate as much infra-red heat, stays cooler than traditional pavers even on the hottest summer day.


Wonderful Durability

The good news is Timbercrete is designed to last for generations. Independent tests prove Timbercrete has the highest possible fire resistance rating for building materials in Australia. It is impervious to termites and rot, and even bullet-proof! The colour will not fade and the bricks blocks, panels and pavers will not wear away when exposed to extreme weather conditions. It even has superior bracing values for those in earthquake prone or cyclonic areas.


Saves the Environment

Timbercrete is amazingly environmentally friendly all the way from its raw ingredients through to its everyday use. Its main ingredient is recycled timber waste (cellulose), so no tree has ever been cut down specifically to make Timbercrete. The bricks are air dried, which is vastly more energy efficient than the conventional kiln dried process of clay bricks. Incredibly, Timbercrete greatly reduces your carbon footprint by actually trapping the carbon that would normally end up as greenhouse gases in our atmosphere. On top of all this, its fantastic insulation qualities mean Timbercrete homes are energy efficient throughout the year.


Saves You Money

With all these advantages, you would expect these handcrafted bricks to cost you a fortune. Yet Timbercrete is cost effective from start to finish. Because bricks, blocks and panels are typically larger and lighter, they are easier to lay which reduces costs and increases the speed of construction. Additionally, if you choose the single skin range, you don’t need insulation, sisalation, gyprock, acid cleaning (a standard procedure for clay fired bricks), paint and much more. Finally, as a Timbercrete homeowner, you will save money on heating and cooling year in and year out.
