STEP 2: COLOUR SELECTION

Panelling Species.

As timber advocates, we firmly believe there is no substitute for the natural beauty and warmth that hardwood timber panelling introduces to an environment. Talk with our talented team of skilled craftsmen and designers to refine what species satisfy your architectural specifications.

Through long standing relationships with leading local and international forestries and sawmills, we can confidently offer a large array of hardwood species at great value.

Being a natural material, species will inherently vary in colour – it is this variation that gives timber panelling it’s innate beauty and appeal. Learn more about timber grading below in Design Considerations.

Testimonials.

We have worked with Australian Timber Ceilings over a number of years now for varying jobs. Their attention to detail, efficiency, and industry knowledge remain unmatched. We appreciate their service and the quality of production and would highly recommend them to anyone seeking a beautiful timber finish in their home or project.

Val

As an interior designer I am always looking to support local Australian small businesses, and I’m so pleased I chose Australian Timber Ceilings on a recent midcentury modern-inspired project in Beaumaris. From initial enquiry to end result, communication has been amazing, organising samples and ensuring the stock was received promptly. Can’t wait to work with this crew again for future projects. I also received great reviews from the carpenters and builders who installed it. Highly recommended, the result speaks for itself!

Jess

Highly recommend Australian Timber Ceilings. As a builder, I’ve used their products on a few projects now and love the prefinished boards and the quality of the products they provide. The website is a great reference for our clients and the team always goes above and beyond to work with our timeframes.

Ryan

Outstanding customer support and exceptional products. Australian Timber Ceilings were fantastic from the initial quotation requests to organising samples, facilitating orders, and following up with aftercare. We have used Australian Timber Ceilings in our builds, and clients are always in love with the finished product. Highly recommend.

Terri

Australian Timber Ceilings is such a professional company. We have been using Australian Timber Ceilings as a supplier for many years now and cannot compliment them enough on their professionalism, customer service, and commitment to delivering our orders hassle-free. I cannot recommend them enough for outstanding quality products and customer service.

Mirella

We use Australian Timber Ceilings for all of our custom luxury houses in Brisbane. The product is easy to install and maintain. Being prefinished, it makes the process much smoother and ensures we have a consistent finish with what is specified.

Australian Timber Ceilings: Terms and Conditions

1. Timber Research and Design Responsibility

Inherent Characteristics: The customer acknowledges the responsibility to understand and accept the natural properties of timber, such as susceptibility to movement, potential for warping, cracking, discolouration, and risk of mould growth.

Design Consideration: It is imperative that these characteristics are factored into the design and construction phases to mitigate any adverse effects and misalignment of expectations.

Appropriate Use: The customer must ensure that our timber products are fit for the intended purpose, particularly concerning any specific fire regulations or safety requirements. For applications exposed to abnormal environmental conditions, such as high humidity regions or beachfront homes, please seek out further technical support from our team and adopt a more diligent routine maintenance program.

2. Product Grading and Representations

Grading: Our timber linings are selectively hand-graded to the standards of AS 2796.2-2006. It is important to note that these quality measures are focused on the board’s clearly visible surfaces. Areas that are not typically visible, such as the tongue, the rebates of Shiplap boards, or the shadow-line channels of our Slat profile series, are not considered in this grading process.

Distortion: Our kiln & dried timber may exhibit natural movement called ‘distortions’. The following distortion tolerances reflect accepted industry norms and serve as a guide for assessing suitability prior to installation. A maximum of 1mm per 100mm of board width (e.g. 1.2mm for a 120mm board) is permissible for cupping. For bowing, spring and warping, a maximum of 8mm is acceptable per metre of board.

Colour, Texture and Sheen Consistency: While significant effort is made to ensure samples and photographs (including digital simulators) accurately represent our products, exact matches in colour, texture, and sheen cannot be guaranteed. Variations may occur due to the natural characteristics of the timber itself and minor tolerances accumulated during machining, grading, and finishing.

3. Ordering

Quantity and Measurements: The responsibility for verifying the required quantities lies with the customer, including a contingency of 15% for waste and any unforeseen inconsistencies within the timber. Being a natural material, our timber lining boards are permitted to have marginal anomalies, particularly if located not in the centre of boards under the working assumption faults can be docked onsite prior to installation.

Batch Variations: The customer must recognise that subsequent orders may exhibit variations in timber colour, grain, and machining due to the inherent nature of timber and the manufacturing process.

4. Installation

Installation Recommendations: Our guidelines aim to support Australian Building Standards and draw from extensive industry experience. Should our advice differ from official standards, compliance with the Australian Building Standards takes precedence.

Batch Variations: The customer must recognise that subsequent orders may exhibit variations in timber colour, grain, and machining due to the inherent nature of timber and the manufacturing process.

Tolerance and Calibration: Differences in machining and finishing between samples, website images, or interactive simulations and the final product are expected and should be accounted for, especially considering potential discrepancies due to device screen calibrations.

5. Comprehensive Liability Waiver

Lead Times: Our lead times provided at the time of order are intended to serve as estimates and may be subject to change at the discretion of Australian Timber Ceilings. We will not be held liable for any delays in the supply of goods (including but not limited to labour costs) incurred by the customer as a result of such delays or rectification works.

Applicability: Our full terms and conditions and liability waiver extends to all products manufactured and supplied by Australian Timber Ceilings and to every party involved in the purchase and use of the products, including, but not limited to, designers, builders, contractors, end property managers, and owners.

Acknowledgment of Terms: By finalising a purchase, the purchasing party, inclusive of design, trade, and end-owner stakeholders, acknowledges and accepts our full Terms & Conditions.

6. Contractual Responsibilities and Liability Waiver

Privity of Contract – No Direct Obligation to End Users: Australian Timber Ceilings supplies products exclusively to builders and trade professionals, who are our direct customers under contract. As such, all warranty claims, product inquiries, and dispute resolutions must be handled by the purchasing party.

Chain of Responsibility – Conflict of Interest Considerations: To maintain a clear and professional chain of responsibility, all communications regarding product performance, installation concerns, or warranty claims must be directed through the original purchasing party (the builder). Engaging with end-users directly would create a conflict of interest and could interfere with our contractual obligations to the builder. Australian Timber Ceilings is only permitted to liaise with the purchasing party.

Warranty and Liability Allocation – Builder as the Primary Contact: Australian Timber Ceilings provides product warranties and technical support directly to the purchasing party. Any concerns regarding product performance, defects, or installation must be accessed and communicated by the purchasing party. Our obligations under warranty do not extend directly to the end-user, and as such any concerns must be facilitated by purchasing party to ensure appropriate resolution process in accordance with our policies.

Limitation of Liability – No Assumption of Responsibility for Third-Party Claims: Australian Timber Ceilings does not assume liability for claims, disputes, or damages initiated by third parties (end-users) regarding product installation, performance, or suitability. Our liability is strictly limited to the terms agreed upon with the purchasing party. Any legal claims, service requests, or remediation obligations must be processed through the builder or trade professional who purchased the product.

Third-Party Restrictions – Confidentiality and Commercial Agreements: Our agreements with builders and trade professionals may include terms restricting direct engagement with third parties, including homeowners. To protect the integrity of our commercial relationships and ensure compliance with these agreements, Australian Timber Ceilings unfortunately cannot provide direct support, assessments, or dispute resolutions to other parties. Any inquiries from non-customers will be redirected to the trade professional responsible for the original purchase and installation.
