Australian Brushwood USA
New to North America, Australian brushwood (also known as broom, thatch, brush, or brushbox) is made from the native Australian plant Melaleuca uncinata, and has been used for fencing in Australia for more than 100 years.
It's used for: * fencing * wall height extensions * sound diffusion * water features * hot tub enclosures * area dividers * gazebos * creative entryways * pool equipment enclosures * patio enclosures
WHAT’S SO GREAT ABOUT IT?
* strong * protection from sun, wind and sound * secure * naturally pest- and insect-resistant * maintenance-free * aesthetically pleasing * 40+-year lifespan * adaptable to any architectural style
WHAT MAKES IT GREEN?
* Melaleuca uncinata bushes are harvested to preserve the plants’ roots, so the crops are environmentally responsible.
* Melaleuca uncinata bushes are a renewable resource and regenerate quickly.
* Brushwood surpasses all known wood fencing material—including bamboo—in its environmentally friendly growth and manufacture.
* Replanting and cultivation efforts help sustain natural resources in Australia, providing solutions to salinity levels and wind erosion, creating wildlife habitats and reversing land degradation.
WHERE CAN YOU GET IT?
Australian Brushwod panels are exclusively imported from Australia by Australian Brushwood USA.
WHAT ARE PEOPLE SAYING ABOUT AUSTRALIAN BRUSHWOOD?
“I love how organic this product is. It looks beautiful, it makes everything warm and lovely, like it’s been here forever. It’s brand-new, renewable, green—I can’t say enough amazing things about Australian brushwood.” —Liana Reid, Liana Reid Design, Los Angeles
“Growing up in Australia, I was very familiar with the product—they used it at seaside resorts and around houses as a windbreak. Then a lot of hip young architects began using it around city townhouses, both for the aesthetic look and because they discovered it was good sound barrier. Brushwood is a really good sound absorption material.” —Terry Rodman, sound engineer (“Little Miss Sunshine,” “Get Smart”)
