With 17 years experience, Timba Windows can quality manufacture your specialist or custom designed timber Windows and Doors in a range of attractive timber species to suit both modern and traditional designs. Now also available Cambia thermally modified timber.
This wood is modified by extreme heat which significantly reduces the ability of the wood to absorb moisture. Shrinking and warping is almost totally eliminated and as all sugars and non essential organic compounds are removed by heat no insect food source remains intact and rotting is far less likely.
All period window styles including double hung sash windows, awning windows, casement windows, sashless windows, fixed windows and all doors including interior doors, exterior doors and sliding doors are manufactured in our factory in East Keilor by specialist timber joinery craftsmen and experienced machinists.
Whether you are an Owner builder, Home Renovator, Architect, Builder or Project Manager, Timba Windows can provide you with an extensive selection of styles and types including Colonial, Victorian, Edwardian, Californian Bungalow or later styles. We also manufacture timber windows that are suited to new homes of any design.
Australian Standards compliant, Timba Windows deliver you peace of mind with consistent quality and on time service, in the elegance and style of natural wood.
Thermally Modified Timber
Wood, by nature is hygroscopic. Free hydroxyl groups absorb and release water with changes in the climatic conditions. Water molecules diffuse into the cell wall and bond to the OH groups, taking up space in the cell wall and causing the cell walls to expand. Wood movement (expansion, contraction, cupping, twisting, warping) is due to the unequal absorption and exorption of moisture. Heating wood at high temperatures in an oxygen free environment causes lignin to flow and hemicellulose to decompose, producing water-insoluble polymers thereby increasing dimensional stability.
As an organic compound, wood biodegrades. Biodegradation requires the presence of oxygen and water in the cell wall. In turn, enzymes metabolize available oxygen and water, causing the cell walls to decompose.
