Ironwood Recycled Timbers


Ironwood Recycled Timbers Ltd puts new life into old seemingly useless wood. Old
growth Australian hardwoods are amongst the strongest and most durable timbers
in the world. Traditionally they were imported into New Zealand for use in heavy
outdoor construction such as wharves and railway bridges.

We recycle these beautiful timbers and have been the industry leader in New
Zealand for 30 years. We're proud to work with this special wood, which has been
weathered astoundingly for over a century.  As each piece offers a unique
history and natural character from years of use which can not be recreated in a
factory, it elevates the meaning and aesthetics of your project.

As the overwhelming and necessary demand for environmental stewardship continues
to increase, so too does the demand for sustainable building practices. Recycled
timber is one such practice which greatly mitigates our environmental impact.
Not only does this responsible choice combat the issue of deforestation on the
front end, but also serves as waste management on the back end.

With the experience to achieve any type of vision Ironwood can help your next
project become an artistic and environmental success.

FURNITURE

Ironwood Recycled Timbers
→ Trusses    → Bridges    → Gates We at Ironwood very much enjoy creating long
lasting furniture with character. Like for all of our other products we use
nothing but beautiful old recycled hardwood. Our construction technique takes
into consideration the natural movement of the timber, that's why our tables and
benches are built without any glue or tech screws.  Strong, stable and durable
furniture of high quality is the result. It is suitable for all environments, be
it wet or dry. And bear in mind that everything about hardwood is very hard,
very dense and very heavy, it would never blow away in a Northwester and will be
passed on for generations. We love to take on any furniture challenge you might
have to produce a piece that you imagine. We're extremely proud of our refectory
tables, both dressed and rustic. Made with a unique steel framing technique that
we developed for the movement needs of the wood and design character.

DETAILS

Ironwood Recycled Timbers
→ back RED BROWNS Most common Australian hardwoods come in shades of reds and
browns. There is a variety of Ironbark species which include these
characteristics plus species such as Red Gum, Jarrah, Bloodwood or Spotted Gum.
YELLOWS Species of Australian Hardwood that show lighter more yellowish shades
tend to be either Tallowwood, Blackbutt or White mahogany. Both carry the
strength and durability of typical Aussie hardwoods, but tend to have a softer,
lighter look. When oiled, the woods beautiful grains are brilliantly displayed,
giving each piece its own unique look. Timbers are commonly measured in three
different categories: density, hardness, and durabilty. Density is measured in
kg/m3 at 12% moisture content. Hardness is quantified using the Janka Rating
Scale, which measures the force required to embed an 11.28mm steel ball into
wood to half the ball's diameter at 12% moisture content (measured in
kilonewtons). Durability is measured using the Natural Durabilit

Many of our clients ask where the Hardwood timber beams come from for their
housing projects. Some of our material has been sourced from the original
Queen’s Wharf in Wellington, that was named in honour of Queen Victoria in 1862.
This Hardwood timber structure was used as a base for the Wellington Harbour
Board in 1880, and was the port’s main wharf until container shipping facilities
were developed further north. All of the extensions to the wharf were in timber
until 1909 when ironwork was used instead. Major works were done using concrete
between 1964-1968 and this changed the shape of the wharf, and the piles and
deck were replaced. Also known as the Deep Water Wharf or Government Wharf, the
original timber deck was replaced with concrete around 1890, and in 1925 hot
bitumen was laid on the surface.
