We have been manufacturing timber cover buttons (aka domed cover plugs) for many years; and over this period we have produced a variety of different sizes and made them in a number of various timber species.

A local hospital here in Adelaide was recently upgraded, and we were asked to quote on supplying a timber bump rail. We put in a price and won the job.

Manufactured from Victorian Ash, the rail finished 190mm wide by 30mm thick, and is attached to the walls of the hospital, so as to protect the plaster work from being chipped by patients hospital beds.

Over the years we have turned a number of different spindles for colonial style fly screen doors. Currently we produce one from Jarrah for a Perth company.

It is always a good selling point when you can say to a potential customer that you not only sell the glue, but you also use it to make your own products.

Although we don't use all of the range of Titebond Wood Glues; one that we do regularly use is Titebond Ultimate 3. This is a waterproof glue that we use in the manufacturing process of a number of our exterior treated timber products, like the pyramid fence post capital that you can see in the photos above and below.

For the majority of balustrade situations a stainless steel tube with a 1.5 or 1.6mm wall thickness is more than sufficient enough.

Occasionally though there is a demand for a heavier wall thickness, particular when being used for pool fencing, commercial work and end posts on a wire cable balustrade.
