Big River ArmourPanel

The only Australian made engineered panel with five layers of hardwood.

August 12th, 2010

Strong and durable panels with all the natural beauty of native hardwood timbers are Big River’s specialty, suited to both commercial and residential projects for application to floors, walls and ceilings.

ArmourPanel comprises two outer layers of hardwood veneer with three more layers of solid hardwood in between, making it the only Australian made engineered panel with five layers of hardwood in Australia.

These multiple layers of hardwood sheets are bonded together with a durable type B bond, ultimately producing one firm and stable board formed by the cross-ply manufacturing process.

Dipped in integrity: The profound depth of Aeron Chair’s extended palette

Aeron Chair’s new shades, Nightfall and Jasper, arrive with a sense of quiet cohesion – no bells and whistles, no loud technicolour; just two timeless, perfectly versatile near-neutrals. But the new hues aren’t just about colour – and their significance is much more profound than their surface-level subtlety might suggest.
