transportation safety

at franz building supplies, safety is a priority. goods will only be released if the customer has a vehicle capable of securing the load safely and legally. western australian law strictly prohibits the transport of unsecured loads to ensure public road safety, and we adhere to these regulations by refusing the release of goods intended for unsafe transport.

to assist customers, here are key guidelines:

• for cars (sedans or suvs), loads must not extend more than 1.2 meters beyond the front or rear of the vehicle and cannot exceed 150 millimeters past the sides. roof load limits are typically around 50 kg, including the weight of roof racks.
• for utes, rear loads must not extend more than 1.2 meters beyond the tray without a visible flag or marker. roof racks on utes can generally support up to 100 kg, provided the load is evenly distributed.

it is essential that all loads are securely fastened to prevent shifting during transit. both overloading and uneven distribution can compromise safety and are strictly prohibited under western australian regulations.

Hardwoods like merbau, jarrah, and Spotted Gumoffer excellent durability. Apply Cutek Extreme CD50 to maximise longevity and enhance their natural resistance to weathering and decay.

Trex composite decking has a Class B fire rating, which means it is resistant to fire spread, making it a safer option for many residential applications. However, it is not entirely fireproof.

Yes, NewTechWood decking meets Australian fire safety standards and is rated for use in areas requiring BAL-29 compliance, making it suitable for bushfire-prone regions.

Yes, timber naturally weathers to a silver-grey patina. To preserve or enhance its original tone, apply Cutek Colourtones, available in shades like rustic gold and black ash. Regular applications of Cutek Extreme CD50 help slow down the weathering process.

Trex composite decking consists of a blend of recycled wood fibres and plastic, providing a durable, eco-friendly material. The decking is capped with a protective layer that helps prevent stains and fading while also making it low maintenance.

With proper maintenance, hardwood decking like Spotted Gumand jarrah can last 30 years or more, while treated pine provides excellent performance at a lower cost.

MODWOOD IS DESIGNED TO RESIST SCRATCHES, PARTICULARLY ON ITS BRUSHED SURFACE. HOWEVER, HEAVY OR SHARP OBJECTS MAY STILL CAUSE MARKS. PROTECTIVE PADS ON FURNITURE LEGS CAN HELP MINIMIZE SCRATCHES​

MODWOOD IS IDEAL FOR USE IN MARINE OR POOLSIDE ENVIRONMENTS. IT IS RESISTANT TO SALT AIR AND WILL NOT SPLINTER, MAKING IT SAFE FOR BARE FEET

MILLBOARD DECKING IS DESIGNED TO LAST OVER 25 YEARS WITH MINIMAL MAINTENANCE, MAINTAINING ITS STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY AND AESTHETIC APPEAL.

MILLBOARD COMPOSITE DECKING HAS A BAL-19 RATING UNDER THE AUSTRALIAN BUSHFIRE STANDARDS, MEANING IT CAN BE USED IN AREAS THAT REQUIRE THIS LEVEL OF FIRE RESISTANCE, PROVIDED IT IS INSTALLED WITHIN A COMPLIANT SYSTEM. THE RATING INDICATES THAT IT IS SUITABLE FOR ENVIRONMENTS PRONE TO EMBER ATTACKS, RADIANT HEAT UP TO 19 KW/M?, AND SOME WIND-BORNE DEBRIS WITHOUT IGNITING. THIS MAKES MILLBOARD A PRACTICAL OPTION FOR ENHANCING FIRE SAFETY IN DECKING APPLICATIONS

Yes, Trex composite decking expands and contracts with temperature fluctuations, as with most composite materials. To account for this natural movement, it?s essential to leave a gap between boards during installation. The recommended gap is 5mm to 8mm for end-to-end board spacing and 3mm to 5mm between side edges of the boards.
