Australian Grown and Made

Designed to perform in the Aussie Climate

Hyne timber is grown and made right here in Australia to perform in our harsh climate.

Grown Here

We make the good stuff from pine and Australian hardwoods, all sustainably grown and farmed right here in Australia. In fact, our mills are all strategically positioned to be close to resource-rich and renewable plantations, which allows us to efficiently process freshly harvested logs, while minimising unnecessary transportation.

We source high quality logs from Queensland, Victoria and South Australia. Each plantation is carefully managed to produce timber with the right strength characteristics and straightness to produce timber that makes light work of frames and trusses.

All our timber stock is sourced from PEFC certified sustainably managed plantations located across Australia.

Our manufacturing sites are located near resource-rich Aussie plantations.

Hyne’s Tuan and Tumbarumba Mills, as well as our Maryborough Glulam Plant are in close proximity to sustainably managed plantations, ensuring a steady supply of high-quality feedstock.

Made Here

For over 140 years, Hyne Timber has been manufacturing high-quality timber locally for the Australian construction industry. Hyne operates some of Australia’s most advanced sawmills in Tuan, Queensland, and Tumbarumba, New South Wales, as well as the country’s biggest GLT (Glue Laminated Timber) Plant in Maryborough, Queensland. With our state-of-the-art facilities, we go above and beyond in the pursuit of good timber that’s designed to suit Australian construction needs.

Local timber supports Aussie families

Aussie builders understand the value of using Australian grown and made timber. 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. Firstly, it’s a way to support our own economy and maintain local jobs. And because we make our products right here for the Aussie market, it adheres to strict standards and regulations, ensuring that the timber you receive is robust, stable, and durable. And let's not overlook the environmental impact! By choosing locally sourced timber, you contribute to a smaller carbon footprint.

Natural & Renewable

Benefits of using Timber

Natural & Renewable

Responsibly sourced timber is a natural and renewable resource. Certified plantations operate on a continuous cycle of growth to provide a wide range of other benefits such as further carbon storage, oxygen generation and environmental management. Every time a tree is harvested up to ten trees are re-established in its place.

Energy Efficient

Benefits of using Timber

Energy Efficient

The process of manufacturing timber uses substantially less fossil fuel energy per unit volume than steel, concrete, or aluminium; meaning that timber has a very low carbon footprint. As it happens, using timber in building construction can maximise Green Star energy ratings and carbon credits.
‍
But timber’s energy efficiency doesn’t end here– it can also help save on energy bills. Timber is a natural insulator because it contains tiny air pockets within its cellular structure that act as a barrier for heat and cold, which results in improved thermal performance.

Durability & Longevity

Benefits of using Timber

Durability & Longevity

Timber is a durable building material for both residential and commercial buildings. When properly manufactured and maintained timber structures have been known to last hundreds of years; with modern preservative treatments only serving to enhance natural durability. In fact, the oldest timber building in the world, the Horyuji Temple in Japan, is more than more than 1,300 years old!

Health & Wellbeing

Benefits of using Timber

Health & Wellbeing

The term ‘biophilia’ describes how humans possess an innate tendency to seek connections with nature. A report commissioned by Planet Ark has found that exposure to wood products and interiors created similar health benefits to those created by spending time in nature¹.

Some of the reported health benefits include:

Improved emotional state, and self-expression
Improved air quality by moderating humidity, encouraging easier breathing
Feelings of warmth and comfort
Lower blood pressure, heart rate, and stress levels
Fire Performance

Fire Predictability

Benefits of using Timber

Fire Predictability

It’s a bit ironic, but timber actually burns in a slow, predictable, and measurable way. These factors mean that timber performs strongly in fire events, when compared to other materials. During the event of a fire, a charcoal layer forms on the surface of the timber, contributing to the fire resistance of the material. This charcoal layer reduces the rate of burning by insulating the inner core of the timber. This insulation slows down the heat penetration, keeping the temperate in the core low and enabling the timber to carry its load much longer than steel. This natural self-defence mechanism increases the possibility for a timber structure to survive a fire while maintaining its strength and stability.
