By Hardwood by LMA Timber
At Hardwood by LMA Timber, we are proud to present our latest luxury Bach project in Okains Bay. The breathtaking view of the ocean makes this location the perfect choice for a tranquil getaway. The talented builders at JM Built have built a modern but contemporary designed structure utilising reclaimed cladding and decking, blending in perfectly with the stunning landscape.
The interior of the Bach is just as remarkable, boasting a smart modern design with exquisite fixtures and tiles. It’s the perfect balance of contemporary and classic style, exuding understated elegance and luxury. Our builder's work on this project has been acknowledged with a New Home Award in the $500k - $750k category by the Master Builders in 2023.
The owners of this beautiful new home also had a real focus on sustainability whilst wanting a low maintenance solution thus choosing LMA Timbers reclaimed cladding and decking. Not only can they just leave this to silver off naturally but the hardwood has in some instances over double the amount of sequester carbon compared to other softwood / thermally modified timber products.
Passionate about sustainability, LMA Timber offers a superior selection of hardwood products tailored for the construction industry. We have collaborated carefully selected Australian Hardwood suppliers in Australia, all recipients of numerous awards for their commitment to delivering high-quality reclaimed and sustainable timber.
Established in 2017, our business originated from inspiration drawn from a Grand Designs episode featuring reclaimed Australian hardwood cladding. A subsequent investigation revealed that the main timber cladding options in New Zealand primarily consisted of high-maintenance softwoods (class 2 – 15 to 40 years naturally durable), such as cedar, larch, and thermally modified products. The discovered hardwood, distinguished by its superior performance, durability, low maintenance, and sustainable attributes, marked the beginning of our success story. Today, architects, designers, and builders widely regard it as their number one choice for not only cladding but structural beams, posts, decking, flooring amongst other hardwood products.
In October 2019 when LMA Timber joined forces with the Caldwell Group (AKA Trade Co), owners of ITM Dyers Road, VIP Frame and Truss amongst other businesses. With a combined experience of 40 years, this partnership enhances our market position, allowing us to provide unparalleled value and service to our customers. Regarded as being the largest and most trusted supplier of reclaimed / sustainably sourced Australian hardwoods, our reputation is firmly enforced by the prestigious projects we have been involved with around New Zealand
Our main warehouse along with purpose built showroom is based in Christchurch. This allows us to carry large volumes of stock (particularly cladding and decking) so that we can meet your projects needs in a timely fashion. Our second purpose built showroom is currently under construction and will be opened towards the end of April 2024. Additionally, we share a showroom in Auckland with High Performer Building where a sample of our products can also be viewed.
