Treated timber roof finials (aka gable spires) have been part of our range of products that we manufacture for the past 25 years.
The majority of them are manufactured from 68 x 68 Pine; but we do make one design that comes from larger 90 x 90 Pine for houses that require something more substantial.
Recently we did a job where we were requested by a customer to manufacture a 40mm diameter half dowel out of Victorian Ash. They required the dowel to be cut into set lengths of 800mm. We did not know what it was going to be used for at the time, but some months later the customer sent us a photo of the end result.
Stainless steel used for stairs and balustrade creates a modern look that is popular in many of today's newly built homes. We have a range of tubes and fittings in various styles and sizes to choose from.
Galvanised tube combined with the DIY friendly range of galvanised pipe fittings can be used to create balustrade that can be used in commerical, domestic and industrial applications.
Spigots are a simple but elegant way of holding 12mm panels of glass; whether for pool fencing and general domestic balustrade.
We sell a range of square or round designs that can be either mounted to the top of a deck or concreted into the ground.
EZIRAIL is the name given to our range of 50mm round timber dowels and fittings that can be used to create continuous timber handrail for domestic, commercial and aged care applications.
Manufacturing timber dowel use to be quite a challenge for us until we purchased a new machine a few years back. Before we got this machine it was difficult to accurately line up the cutters so that you ended up with a perfectly round dowel. With the new machine this is not an issue, and as a result we have been able to very quickly produce dowels in different sizes.
You may not know this, but when HAMMERSMITH started back in 1946 we use to make Australiana souvenirs for tourist shops our of Mulga wood.
So "what is Mulga wood ?" I hear you ask. Well Mulga wood is an Australian hardwood that is grown in the more arid areas of Australia. The timber is extremely hard and was used extensively by Aboriginals for the making of traditional hunting tools such as spears and boomerangs.
Feature timber ceilings are a great way to add value to the outside alfresco area of your house. Here in Australia the most common timber used is Western Red Cedar, but we do occasionally get request for different timbers to be used for this purpose. This was the case recently where we had a customer who wanted to have a timber ceiling made out of American White Oak.
