Ironwood Australia in association with XLam brings our first residential build using Cross Laminated Timber and Ironwood’s premium recycled and reclaimed timber. Watch the video to see the entire build or scroll down to see images of the finished house.
This house build includes the use of XLam’s Cross Laminated Timber (CLT), as well as Ironwood’s recycled and reclaimed timber as flooring, decking, beams, posts and cladding. Ironwood is Australia’s leading supplier and miller of Australian hardwood recycled and reclaimed timber. Major advantages of using recycled hardwood timbers include the positive environmental effects and the unique atmosphere it creates through colour, texture and warmth, whilst displaying Australian history at the same time.
Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) is a solid structural wood product made from bonded layers of timber. CLT panels span and support loads, and are able to connect together to provide a very strong and stable building system. CLT is prefabricated and digitally designed with minimal waste from production, which improves efficiencies, safety and speed in construction. It is also an environmentally sustainable product, storing carbon and reducing carbon emissions through reduced building times, production and performance.

Ironwood Australia are Australia’s leading and foremost supplier of recycled Australian hardwood timbers.
Ironwood Australia's recycled hardwood timbers are suitable for any purpose for which timber can be used; from residential and commercial premises to golf courses, schools, playgrounds and bridges.
Ironwood (formerly known as the Rozelle Recycled Building Centre) was established more than 20 years ago. Our recycled hardwood timbers are sought after and specified by some of Australia’s most well known and highly regarded architects, project managers, interior designers, property stylists, property developers, hoteliers, restauranteurs and, of course, DIY renovators who want to add some character to their renovation project.
The quality, look and strength of recycled and reclaimed Australian hardwood timbers far exceeds the quality of new timber products and also has the added attraction of being an environmentally sustainable and renewable building material. Unlike new timber, the resawn recycled timber will stay straight 99% of the time.
This also means that our recycled and reclaimed Australian hardwood timber can be used for a variety of purposes. They can also be milled to size at our own mill and we can finish the timber with a range of finishes to give the timber that exact look you are seeking.
