Solid F17 & SUPALAM F17.
For the builder who puts quality first.
Quality is the hallmark of a lasting reputation in building and construction. Builders who insist on providing the best possible product for the job, choose structural timber from ASH’s SUPASPAN range.
Whilst there are many imported structural products on the market, they are often designed to be “fit for purpose” and typically created from softwoods that have a fraction of the nail retention, compression and beauty of SUPASPAN. A major benefit of SUPASPAN is it’s architectural finish, allowing members to be exposed and showcase the natural character of timber.
ASH’s SUPASPAN range includes traditional solid F17 and SUPALAM F17 (finger-jointed, laminated).
Manufactured in Australia from Australian Oak (Tasmanian Oak). SUPALAM F17 is also available in IronAsh – externally treated Australian Oak perfect for sub-decking.

(Edited Table H3.1 Standards Australia AS 1720.1 - 2010).
Australian Oak is ASH’s brand of Tasmanian Oak timber. As a strong and stable hardwood, Australian Oak offers great workability due to its high sanding and gluing potential.
Quarter sawn to ensure optimal stability, Australian Oak is cut perfectly straight. Suitable for a range of interior applications like furniture and joinery, staircase components, benchtops, flooring and lining. Designed to match our externally treated IronAsh timber to provide a seamless transition from inside to out.
We’ll provide a raw, uncoated sample giving you a true appreciation for the natural timber.
IronAsh is ASH’s Australian Oak (Tasmanian Oak) timber with the addition of a durable H3 water-based treatment making it ideal for exterior applications. Designed to match our internal Australian Oak range, or seamlessly match to existing projects that utilised Victorian Ash or Tasmanian Oak.
IronAsh is available in a variety of cladding, batten and screening profiles and comes with a 25-year warranty. We’ll provide an uncoated sample giving you a true appreciation for the natural timber which can easily be stained or painted on site (the H3 treatment does not affect the colour of the timber).
SUPASPAN is our range of structural timber for residential applications including solid F17 and SUPALAM F17. SUPALAM is ASH’s engineered F17 to provide longer spans than traditional F17. SUPALAM is finger-jointed and laminated structural timber.
F17 is traditional structural timber that is generally covered by other building materials, such as plasterboard.
SUPASPAN is an architectural structural timber designed to be exposed to showcase the beauty and character of timber.
SUPASPAN is used predominately for residential projects, where F17 structural grade is needed. Whereas MASSLAM is our range of glue laminated engineered hardwood columns and beams used for mass timber construction and is best suited to large commercial projects. Read more about MASSLAM here.
