POSSIBILITIES
CHARACTERISTICS

INNOWOOD'S material characteristics open a wide variety of possibilities. It can be used as External Cladding, Internal Lining, Outdoor Decking, Indoor Flooring, Shading, Street Furniture and Screening.
At INNOWOOD, we operate within an environment of continuous improvement and innovation. The development of our material properties, performance and texture is an ongoing process to continually improve the finishes, lifespan and colour durability of our products. To date we have been able to limit and control the thermal expansion process, thereby creating even greater stability in our materials. All INNOWOOD products may be upgraded to achieve a particular fire performance rating on request.

INNOVATION

Since 2005 INNOWOOD has been at the forefront of innovation, product development and performance in composite timber. After many years of extensive application, the reputation of our brand has grown to the point where today our products are specified far and wide, both nationally and internationally, and our brand has been recognized as being amongst the Top 100 trusted brands for Architecture & Design 2016 survey and this is the third consecutive time for INNOWOOD to achieve this.

WHAT IS INNOWOOD?

INNOWOOD is sustainable timber alternative and 100% recyclable, low VOC emissions, energy efficient, ecofriendly composite timber material.

WHAT IS UNIQUE ABOUT INNOWOOD?

INNOWOOD looks and feels like real timber without its inherent shortcomings such as timber’s tendency to crack, warp, split or rot over time when used in outdoor. INNOWOOD is also low maintenance, lightweight, and resistant to termites, water and fire. INNOWOOD is also self-extinguishing if subjected to fire.

IS INNOWOOD DURABLE?

INNOWOOD is highly durable and is warranted against cracking, splitting, rotting, flaking or peeling, splinters, water and moisture. Please refer to our warranty document.

HOW SAFE IS INNOWOOD?

INNOWOOD is non toxic, splinter-proof, making it ideal for children and bare feet!

IS INNOWOOD BOARD GOOD NEAR A REFLECTIVE SURFACE ?

Metal roofing can add to the heat load of the cladding due to UV rays reflecting off the surface which may adversely affect the Innowood product under normal installation conditions. Therefore additional supports or shorter spans is required to counter this.

Please contact INNOWOOD to obtain the additional design consideration requirement for project specific.

HOW DOES THE PRICE OF INNODECK COMPARE WITH TIMBER DECKING?

While the initial cost to build a pine or hardwood deck may be lower, the value of an INNOWOOD deck truly comes into its own over the longer term, easy to install and low maintenance and significant cost and time savings.

WILL INNOWOOD BOARDS FADE?

Any natural product that is exposed to the elements and particularly UV exposure will change in colour over time. INNOWOOD board is like natural timber, fading overtime to off white/silver grey colour when used in outdoor applications.

Recoating according to our Recoating Procedure Guideline will also have the benefit of assisting in bringing back some colour but bear in mind that it is very difficult to achieve the same colour or surface finish that has already began to show signs of discolouration.

HOW LONG WILL THE INNOWOOD COATING LAST?
The durability of the coating are difficult to measure or cannot be specifically guaranteed, depending on the environment in which the product is installed.

This can be illustrated by the installation of the same material with same coating and the same surface treatment but after a period of time, products exposed to direct sunlight appear to fade faster than products exposed to less sunlight. This is not a product or coating issue but is a natural phenomenon found in all natural materials where the colour is affected to different degrees dependant on the level of direct sunlight.

Based on our experience and observations all coating life expectancies can only be used as a guide.

For regions with low UV intensity, the durability of the coating to weathering can be maintained for approximately 5-7 years. In regions with high UV intensity or extreme weather, the durability of coating to weathering can be maintained for approximately 2-4 years. This guide also applies to decking applications but bear in mind that the amount of foot traffic and wear combined with the direct angle of incidence of sun on the flat surface will reduce the coating life expectancy guidance by at least another year.

Generally, lighter colours such as Golden and Premium Oak fade faster than darker colours such as Weathered Wood and Urban Oak that retain colour for much longer. With colours such as Spotted Gum and Tasmanian Oak behaving with normal fading levels.

HOW DO I RE-COAT THE INNOWOOD BOARDS?
Recoating is only required when the INNOWOOD surface begins to show signs of discolouration and dullness. To recoat follow the Recoating Procedure Guideline.

Recoating according to our Recoating Procedure Guideline will also have the benefit of assisting in bringing back some colour but bear in mind that it is very difficult to achieve the same colour or surface finish that has already began to show signs of discolouration.

DOES INNOWOOD BOARD VARY IN TONAL COLOURS?

INNOWOOD board is made predominantly from timber hardwood waste therefore colour will vary slightly according to the hardwood species used in its manufacture. It is therefore recommended that all the boards be sourced from the same production batch and if there are still variations within the batch, ensure that the material is mixed prior to installation.

HOW DO I MAINTAIN INNOWOOD PRODUCTS?

To maintain the finish and extend the life of your INNOWOOD boards, regular simple maintenance is recommended. A regular simple cleaning routine is important to keep your INNOWOOD boards looking their best. Simple remove surface dirt by sweeping or washing down the boards with water, do not use abrasive substances or pressure cleaners.

HOW SHOULD INNOWOOD BOARDS BE HANDLED?

INNOWOOD boards should be handled with care when loading and unloading (do no drop on the ground), stored undercover on a flat surface and supported at 450mm centres until ready to be installed.

HOW DO INNOWOOD BOARDS PERFORM IF EXPOSED TO FIRE?
INNOWOOD Composite Timber under AS1530.3 is self extinguishing with zero spread of flame index or very little support for further combustion.

Further to the above, INNOWOOD boards have been tested and achieve up to a Group 1 rating (ASNZS 3837 – Specification A2.4 of BCA) or up to BAL- 29 Rating (AS3959:2009 – Construction of Building in Bushfire Prone Areas, Appendix F). Upon request based on specific project requirements, INNOWOOD Boards can achieve these ratings with the option of high performance formulas that have been modified from the standard formulation, whilst still maintaining the natural look and feel of real timber.

ARE INNOWOOD BOARDS ENVIRONMENTAL FRIENDLY?
The INNOWOOD material is made up of primarily recycled repurposed natural timber waste products and as a testament we have received a EPD accreditation for our products’ full lifecyle.
DOES INNOWOOD MOVE?

INNOWOOD Boards do not move across the boards’ width but like all composite timber will expand and contract along the length of the material with temperature changes. This movement is controlled but following our installation manuals that have provisions to controlling these movements.

Premium Fibre Deck uses patented technology that incorporated fibre layers to significantly reduce overall movements in length.
