Timberlink announces new wood composite products brand
Posted 12 August 2024
Everdeck boards are manufactured in Tasmania from a combination of Australian recycled plastic and plantation pine timber residues such as wood shavings.
Timberlink is pleased to announce the launch of its Australian made wood composite products brand, Everdeck. The Everdeck range is currently comprised of decking boards, edge boards and concealed fasteners.
Everdeck boards are manufactured in Tasmania from a combination of Australian recycled plastic and plantation pine timber residues such as wood shavings. Everdeck decking boards are currently available in a 137mm width and length of 5.4M, and in a range of six different colours.
Timberlink Chief Sales & Marketing Officer, Simon Angove, said:
‘Our Everdeck boards contain at least 50% plantation pine timber residues which are sourced right here from our Bell Bay facility. These residues are combined with Australian recycled plastic to create a value-added product that is simple to install and easy to care for.’
The Everdeck wood composite products manufacturing facility was announced in 2021 and was supported by a $5.8M co-investment from the Australian and Tasmanian Governments Recycling Modernisation Fund (Plastics) Round 1 Grants Program (RMF). It is a part of Timberlink’s Bell Bay, Tasmania, plantation pine timber manufacturing site, and is the first facility in Tasmania to manufacture wood composite products.
Last week Timberlink welcomed Brian Mitchell MP, Federal Member for Lyons, and Nick Duigan, Tasmanian Minister for Parks and Environment, for a tour of the completed facility.
Timberlink Chief Executive Paul O’Keefe said:
‘We are pleased to share this milestone with the Federal member for Lyons and the Tasmanian Minister for Parks and Environment, and thank the State and Federal governments for their co-investment. Timberlink is proud to contribute to the enhancement of Tasmania’s manufacturing capabilities.’
Everdeck decking boards, edge boards and concealed fasteners are now available in Tasmania with availability in other Australian states to follow.
To support the launch of these products, Timberlink has released a new Everdeck website located at www.everdeck.com.au. This website features an interactive deck planner tool which allows consumers to explore different layout options and colours for their deck, as well as calculate an estimate of materials. The deck planner is located at www.everdeck.com.au/deck-planner/
