MPP14 – Rafter Cassettes (Port Macquarie, NSW) – May 2019

Just recently, Eastlands Frame & Truss had a plan which included a reasonably sized raked ceiling area using LVL rafters. Partnering with Meyer Timber, they got Tom to detail the roof in cassette form, and the rafters were precision cut on the Hundegger, including birdsmouth and reduction cuts for the overhang. Eastlands F&T then assembled the cassettes, which were installed in only 20 minutes!

MPP13 – Floor Cassettes (Townhouses by Zac Homes) – Nov 2018

ZAC Homes have just completed their second phase trial of cassette floors which involved 13 townhouses. This was manufactured using the new cassette floor jig at Meyer NSW and the last 7 townhouses were all installed in a single day with time to spare.

MPP12 – Qikpanel Cassettes (Melbourne) – Nov 2018

Over the past couple of months Meyer Timber has been working hard in delivering a Qikpanel floor system to a 64-unit development in Victoria. This involves a patented system using inverted T-joists which are chemically bonded directly to the flooring to create strong but lightweight floor panels. Plumbing and ducting holes have been pre-cut into the panels and shower areas are recessed as well.

MPP11 – Floor Cassettes (Zac Homes) – Jul 2018

Zac Homes took part in a trial of cassette floors for two of their double storey houses. It was done using stressed skin floor cassettes, where the flooring is bonded to the joists and essentially becomes like the top flange of an I-joist. The first job was a steep learning experience for all but the second one saw 6 panels installed in under an hour.

MPP10 – Floor Cassettes (Lismore) – Jun 2018

Eastlands F&T did a job this month in Lismore which involved cassette floors for 6 units. This was detailed by Tom in our Sydney office, cut to length on the Hundegger and delivered to Eastlands yard at Port Macquarie. They manufactured to Toms production drawings, put it on a truck to Lismore and arranged the install. When we got to site there were core filled block walls that were 90mm out of parallel and other issues which cased a couple of initial headaches. But once the installation process started they had 4 units installed with first floor frames craned up as well in under 4 hours. A credit to all involved and the main learning here was to allow a bit more time in future for the whole process.

MPP09 – Merbau Kit Sets – Feb 2018

With the Hundegger TURBO-Drive at Meyer Timber we are now offering machining options that range from precision docked to length members to full cutting and drilling of projects such as pergola “kit sets”. See the Project Profile attached, where a gable truss Merbau pergola was fully machined by Meyer Timber. The structure install time reduced from 3 days to ½ day which is a great outcome for both the installer and the home owner. Talk to us for more information.

MPP08 – Meyer Timber NSW Warehouse – Jan 2018

We have now moved into our new purpose built facility in Penrith. Incorporating the largest LVL framed warehouse in Australia at just under 20,000m2 it puts all our material on the one site again, giving us improved capability and logistics. To all our valued customers, if you are in the area (just 10min west of our St Marys site) call your sales rep and drop in to have a look around. The office, supplied by Timber Building Systems (TBS) showcases some of the new products we are importing like Baubuche flooring and panels. Thanks also to CIP for the build.

MPP06 – 49° LVL Roof – Sep 2017

Have a look at the 49° LVL roof project profile recently completed in NSW. This is an impressive build with the longest rafter being just under 13.2m. It is restrained and supported by first floor joists, then first floor walls, then loft joists/collar ties, then loft walls, then an upper collar tie before finally hitting the ridge board. And credit to the carpenters as it was all cut to size on the ground!

MPP05 – LSL Studs – Sep 2015

Laminated Strand Lumber (LSL) was used as a viable option for wall frames (studs and wall plates) in this project in Echuca (VIC). “It’s a dream to use. You are not spending days straightening walls” was the builder’s final comment.

MPP04 – Sydney Boathouse – Nov 2014

Cold Pressed and pre-fabricated LVL boat runners from Nelson Pine were used in this project. Thick solid section LVL was found to be a better long-term alternative than traditional options in this high load application.

MPP03 – Raftered Roof – Jul 2014

The hySPAN rafters of a beautiful roof structure were pre-fabricated with tapers and steel beam checkouts. A happy builder stated “Off-site fabrication makes sense for the common rafters due to their length and weight.

MPP02 – Exhibition Pontoon – May 2014

Located in the beautiful surrounds of Darling Harbour (NSW), this exhibition pontoon was constructed with the highest levels of treatment, varying from H3 (plywood floor) and H4 bearers/joists/handrails, to additional H5/H6 treated pine.

MPP01 – Outdoor Pergola – Jan 2014

This outdoor pergola showcased the versatility of glulam with GL13S Merbau posts, GL17S Merbau roof framing and GL17C pine beams
