Why is wood a good building material?

Wood is a natural product, re-usable and environmentally friendly, if grown and harvested responsibly. It increases the energy efficiency of a building and doesn't require high amounts of fossil fuels to be produced. It also has a natural beauty that many people find appealing.

Where can I donate building materials?

We are happy to advise that there are many places that accept building materials that you don't need. Your local salvage yard, Recycling Near You and Habit for Humanity Australia are some of the organisations that support the environment and community by accepting donations.

Which building materials are fireproof?

It should be no surprise that one of the top fireproof materials is brick. Concrete also has exceptional fire-resisting properties, and stucco is also excellent and can be used to cover structural materials like wood or brick.

What building material is the most energy efficient?

Recycled steel. This is the most recycled material in the world, according to the Steel Recycling Institute. The properties of steel allow for it to be continuously recycled without its performance being affected. Apart from that it's strong and can support large insulation layers.

What are renewable building materials?

Renewable building materials are eco-friendly, sustainable materials that support the conservation of the environment. They are created from natural, renewable sources like plantation forests or agricultural waste. They can also be made of recycled material. Think bamboo, straw, thatch and reclaimed wood.

Building Materials

Whether you are a DIY renovator or an established builder, everyone wants the same thing when they purchase building materials - a good result. There is a wide range of construction and building materials available, and the supplies you choose will depend on the aesthetics, the purpose and the function of what you are building, and of course your budget.

Consider longevity, robustness and quality when you are purchasing Building boards, concrete, cement, fencing, gates, and general hardware like ladders, fasteners and fixtures, all of which can all be purchased from local building materials suppliers, who will often use Gumtree to connect with customers.

Doors

The right door should complement a home's structure and surrounding finishes, and so it's important to take into consideration the construction, the weight, the thickness and the frame of the door.

There are some great choices for both indoor and outside doors. Bi-folds, sliding doors and french doors are all great choices for a doorway that leads outside. In general bi-folds and french doors are great if you have plenty of open space in your outdoor area, and sliding doors are excellent if you are working with a smaller space, because they don't take up any room when they are open.

Bathroom Materials

Even when it comes to the smallest room in the house, style matters. There's a range of toilets and matching seats that can seamlessly fit into your bathroom.

Choosing the best building materials can make all the difference to your end result and to how you feel when you are using that new vanity, bathub or shower. Whether you are doing a full renovation or a minor upgrade, you can find an array of new and second hand building materials to help create a look that you and your whole family will love.
