The Green Directory - Australia's Green Business Directory

The Green Mill is an environmentally friendly and sustainable timber mill and is an Australian Owner/Operator (Father & Son Team) Enterprise.

Timber Flooring Production is not usually done by hand. It's a much-mechanised industry these days. The Green Mill is an exception; our flooring is hand-made, piece by piece, using conventional joinery equipment and skills. This means boards are high quality, like a piece of furniture or joinery.

Cleaton is a qualified, licensed and experienced carpenter and joiner with 25 years experience. This has given him an insight into what makes a good timber floor. Using well-seasoned timber, like recycled hardwood from demolition sites, is the best. Cleaton has been using this type of material to make high quality flooring for the last 5 years.

Architects, Engineers and Builders understand the benefits of using recycled hardwood. They know this material is more stable then new kiln-dried flooring, not to mention ethical and environmental aspects. Timber prices are on the rise because of scarcity arising from clearing and increasing drought through climate change. This means it is becoming more economically viable to collect, sort, re-saw and re-machine this timber to produce high quality flooring.

It is important that old timber be re-used rather then wasted or finishing up in landfill.
