Magna laminated timber delivers superior structural integrity and visual appeal, making it ideal for applications where both strength and presentation matter. Manufactured using high-quality Merbau (Intsia bijuga), Magna retains the natural durability, hardness, and termite resistance of solid Merbau, enhanced by precision glulam technology for improved stability and consistency. Every piece is engineered for long-term reliability and designed to perform under Australia’s varied climatic conditions.
Each beam, post, and handrail is produced to exacting standards under the supervision of the Glue Laminated Timber Association of Australia (GLTAA). The result is a product that is free from visible defects such as cracks or delamination, offering a clear, refined finish suitable for exposed architectural elements. With consistent moisture content, low shrinkage, and outstanding resistance to warping, Magna provides builders and designers with a dependable structural timber that maintains its form and finish over time.
Magna’s sustainable origins are equally impressive. The Merbau used in production is sourced from FSC 100% certified forests, ensuring ethical harvesting and full environmental accountability. Supported by a 15-year warranty, Magna laminated timber represents a premium choice for projects that value structural strength, durability, and responsible sourcing.
