Whether you’re a builder, designer, chippy or a homeowner, there’s a special appreciation for locally sourced timber, and it’s not hard to see why. Our timber is made from plantation pine grown in our own backyard and is designed to handle Australia’s harsh environment, to stay straight, and perform on the job, making light work of frames and trusses.

The renowned natural strength of timber is enhanced with our glue laminating process, ensuring it is ideal for long span and high load applications, but unlike some LVL it won’t delaminate when used outdoors, it is H3 treated for durability, and it can even hold a nail. GLT is a fraction of the weight of steel with the advantage of being easily cut, notched, or drilled on site.

Established in 1978, Hyne Timber's Glue Laminated Timber (GLT) Plant was one of the first in Australia. Located in Maryborough Queensland, the plant employs approximately 50 people to manufacture responsibly sourced Australian softwood (LGL & Beam 15) and hardwood (Beam 21) GLT products.

The pine used in our LGL is sourced from sustainably managed Aussie plantations. In fact, building with LGL is an eco-conscious endeavour, because unlike some other building materials, Hyne GLT manufacturing is energy efficient and benefits from the use of biofuel. Not only that, but timber is renewable and locks carbon away. And as it happens, approximately 50% of the dry weight of timber is carbon absorbed from the atmosphere.
