THE KENNEDY'S STORY Kennedy's is a family business that has been specialising in the supply of recycled and eco-sustainable timbers for commercial and residential projects since 1995. We have a commitment to our environment, a passion for quality and service and guarantee that every product of Kennedy's meets the highest possible standard. So talk to us now about your special project, large or small. When one looks at nostalgic old images of the early timber getters it is easy to forget the devastastion that followed. As roadways opened up and chain-saws replaced the axe, uncontrolled logging decimated many of our old-growth native forests. Recycling this magnificent timber is the natural alternative that helps preserve our remaining forests. The unique characteristics of Australian timbers allow the creative architect or builder a full spectrum of design possibilites in both contemporary and traditional concepts. When used in conjunction with modern man-made materials such as polished stainless steel and large expanses of glass, Kennedy's range of recycled and seasoned quality new timbers provide striking contrast to these slick surfaces, whilst adding that sense of timelessness to the entire structure. "70 years ago my grandfather began his apprenticeship as a cabinet maker. After three generations of working with timber you could say it's in our blood" - Michael Kennedy |

ENGINEERED
FLOORING Kennedy's Eco-Tech flooring is the perfect solution to laying timber over concrete slabs. The versatility and stability of this product allows it to be used successfully where solid timber can not. A 4mm face layer of recycled Australian hardwood is prefinished in 40% gloss ceramic acrylic. This can be direct-stuck or laid over acoustic underlay meeting the noise level requirements in multiple dwelling buildings. SOLID FLOORING Kennedy's Australian Hardwood Flooring, available in standard or wide widths up to 210mm sets the benchmark for a fabulous floor that is not only beautiful, but almost indestructible. Each board is hand-graded to ensure the rich character and natural patina is revealed. Colours can be matched beween species or randomly mixed. Choose from our unique and wonderfully featured recycled or select new timbers sourced only from certified eco-sustainable forest or plantations. BEAMS & POSTS Massive and magnificent, recycled beams and posts are a Kennedy's speciality. Salvaged from historical landmarks, these old timbers have immense structural integrity. In their original form the beams and posts have a rugged and rustic surface which can be cleaned and burnished smooth if required. If your project demands timbers to be free of any "character marks" of a previous existence, Kennedy's can also supply highest grade new timber with our guarantee of an eco-sustainable source. BENCH TOPS The final statement to any kitchen or bar is the benchtop. Nothing compares to a great thick slab of polished solid hardwood. The wonderful grain is like a personal imprint, as no two boards are ever the same. To source a unique, beautiful and practical benchtop, in colours from the riches of reds to the palest honey tones, your search begins and ends at Kennedy's. |
