Our Story

Founded in 2002 in Western Australia, Glosswood began with a simple idea, to create products that captured the look and warmth of native slow-growth hardwoods, using renewable, fast-growing timber. From those beginnings, we have grown to become Australia’s leading supplier of architectural timber linings, claddings, and acoustic panels.

Over the past two decades, we have refined our expertise, specialising in the design and manufacture of architectural finishes for both residential and commercial environments. Our products embody quality, sustainability, and refined aesthetics, trusted by architects, designers, and builders across Australia.

Built into every board we supply is a responsibility to the future. We source from rapidly renewable timber stock and maintain a long-term focus on sustainable supply. Our manufacturing process is carefully considered to minimise impact, with a sensitivity to avoiding harmful materials and an ongoing commitment to innovation in production processes.

At Glosswood, we embrace the natural variations and textures that make timber unique. By designing with nature, we bring character and warmth into every space.

SUSTAINABILITY

The way we design, build, and live must continue to evolve to reduce our impact on the natural environment and the materials we choose are central to that change.

As a leader in the Australian timber market, Glosswood is proud to be driving this shift. We work with sustainably grown plantation timbers, offering renewable alternatives to species that take generations to establish.

Our commitment is to create products of lasting beauty that meet today’s needs without compromising the future.

Timber Supply

At Glosswood, we select species such as Paulownia and Radiata Pine for their consistency, stability, and refined appearance. These timbers are lightweight yet strong, offering excellent dimensional stability and a smooth, knot-free surface that allows for precise machining and a flawless finish.

In the Australian climate where intense sun, heat, and seasonal humidity shifts can quickly challenge building materials, these species perform with reliability. Their natural stability minimises the risk of warping or movement, ensuring a consistent finish even in demanding conditions.

The result is timber that not only showcases natural beauty but also meets the practical requirements of living and building in the Australian environment.
