Hardwoods with enhanced performance.

DPR - The New Generation Hardwood Advantage
DPR dead straight structural building products free of the annoying defects common to traditional hardwood.

DPR products are made from specially selected low shrinkage hardwood

species, planed with a smooth surface and 'pencil rounded' edges. Specialised sawing technology guarantees timber which is dead straight, strong and

accurate to size.

Using DPR products will speed up construction by eliminating most preparation work.

They are available for use as framing, sub floor framing, roof trusses, lintels, rafters, battens, posts and decking. DPR products are particularly popular for pergolas, decks, exposed joists and pole home framing.

Features

Dead straight (bow and spring stresses are relieved during milling)
Solid bearers to 6.3 metres
Floor joists to 10.2 metres
Accurately dressed to size
Pencil rounded edges for ease of handling. No splinters!
Smooth surfaces make it easier to paint
Cut only from specially selected, durable hardwood species
Low shrinkage rate
High strength rating (F14 and F17)
End trimmed and sealed
Posts (100 x 100) - dead straight both ways
Displays the natural look of Australian hardwoods (particularly effective in pole homes)

Immunised against Lyctus Borer

Also available as termite resistant DPR Plus

And because the products are cut only from high strength, low shrinkage hardwood species, kiln drying is unnecessary which means huge cost savings.

To obtain the correct end section for a required span, reference should be made to the DPR Span Tables for unseasoned timber.
