Knotwood is supplied in 6m lengths, custom sizes are also available on request.
Knotwood complies with BAL-FZ specifications as long as a fire barrier product is used behind the cladding such as the TBA Firefly Plus 60 Wall System.
Unlike steel, aluminium doesn’t rust. When steel is cut, rust begins to form instantly; if left unchecked, rust will spread and become flakey, and ultimately the steel object will fail. Not so with aluminium. When aluminium is cut, the exposed surface reacts with the oxygen in the air to form an extremely thin layer of oxide. This oxidised layer then serves to protect the base material underneath and improves the aluminium’s resistance to corrosion in harsh environments. This naturally- occurring layer is self-repairing if damaged.
Yes we can powder coat any Interpon or Dulux standard colour finishes.
Knotwood can easily be cut with a mitre saw and a non-ferrous metal cutting blade.
All our aluminium is sourced and extruded locally and our product is designed and manufactured at our Gold Coast plant.

If you are not exposed to constant salt air you can also use self tapping galvanized steel screws.
