Product Description

HighFlow™ Ventilated H3 LVL Cavity Battens – NCC 2025 Ready

 

Highwood Timber’s HighFlow™ Ventilated H3 LVL Cavity Battens are engineered to provide superior moisture management, structural performance, and compliance with the upcoming NCC 2025 condensation requirements. Designed specifically for modern Australian construction, HighFlow™ battens create a continuous ventilated cavity behind external cladding systems, allowing moisture to drain and air to circulate freely.

As Australian homes become more energy efficient and airtight, effective condensation management is essential to prevent mould growth, timber decay, insulation damage, and costly structural repairs. HighFlow™ cavity battens help builders and architects meet evolving National Construction Code (NCC) requirements while delivering healthier, longer-lasting buildings.

Janka Rating

What Is the Janka Rating?

The Janka rating is a way to measure how hard a timber is, specifically, how much force it takes to push a small steel ball halfway into the wood. The number you get is shown in kilonewtons (kN). A higher Janka score means a harder, more durable timber. Builders and floor installers use it to work out which timbers hold up better in busy areas.

Here’s a rough guide to how some timbers sit on the scale:

  • Brazilian Walnut – around 16.0 kN
  • Spotted Gum – roughly 11.0 kN
  • Tasmanian Oak – about 5.5 kN
  • Radiata Pine – close to 3.0 kN

Keep in mind: these values can vary depending on moisture content and grain direction.

It's One Part of the Decision

Hardness is useful to know, but it’s just one factor. Janka doesn’t tell you how a timber reacts to heat or humidity, how stable it is, or how easy it is to cut and install.

Some of the hardest woods can be difficult to work with. Others, even if softer, might be more stable or forgiving on-site.

At Greenhill Timbers, we look at the whole picture, not just the numbers. All our timbers are structurally graded and covered by a 25-year guarantee. We'll help you pick something that works for your project, not just on paper.
