5 Reasons to Choose Custom Timber Gates
Custom timber gates offer both functionality, charm and make a timeless addition to any New Zealand property. This article explores why custom timber gates are the ultimate choice for enhancing your home’s aesthetics, security, style, and sustainability.
Why choose custom timber gates?
The true beauty of custom-made timber gates is you can achieve the exact design, style, and dimensions to match your specific needs; and gates that will blend in seamlessly with the surroundings. Here are the top reasons to choose custom timber gates:
1. Unmatched aesthetic appeal
Due to its natural beauty, timber is hard to top when it comes to visual appeal. Whether you choose to paint your timber gates or protect them with a clear coat, timber offers a beautiful texture and character when compared to other building materials.
2. Durability for long-term use
When you use top grade timber for timber gates, you get a quality product that is robust and stands the test of time. The top grade of timber is “clears”, followed by No 1 grade. All of the timber gates we supply is made from a clears mix grade of timber.
3. Sustainability at its best
Custom-built timber gates made from timber that we produce responsibly help preserve the planet’s resources. Even when fashioned into gates and various other timber products, the wood continues to filter the air by absorbing carbon dioxide. This helps mitigate the effects of climate change. In addition, unlike non-renewable materials such as steel or concrete, timber is a renewable resource that replenishes through proper forest management.
4. Security with style
Whether you live in an urban or rural area, gates and fencing make your property more secure. Custom timber gates are sturdy and offer security, while at the same time, they exude style and sophistication.
5. Versatile for any property
It doesn’t matter whether the gates are for a home, a commercial property, or some other purpose, custom-built timber gates are versatile enough to suit any application, in any location. With a custom design, they’ll be the perfect fit no matter what your requirements are.
