Frequently asked questions

What is Meranti and where is it used?
Meranti is a moderate-density Southeast Asian hardwood prized for stability, fine grain and exceptional machinability. In Australia it is the dominant species used for door manufacturing, jamb sets, architraves, glazing beads, mouldings and joinery substrates. Because it cuts cleanly, accepts paint and stain reliably, and remains dimensionally stable in interior conditions, it is the default specification across most timber door manufacturers and architectural joinery shops.
What Meranti DAR sizes does Birak stock?
Birak's Meranti KD Select DAR range covers thin sections from 19x8 and 30x8 through 12x12, 30x12, 42x12 and 138x12. Mid-range stock includes 18x18, 42x18, 66x18, 90x18 and 116x18 — the workhorse architrave and beading sizes. This breadth means door, window and joinery shops can specify and standardise on Meranti for almost every internal trim and joinery component without substituting species mid-build.
What jamb and pencil round sets are available?
Birak stocks Meranti KD Select DAR Jamb Sets in 112x30 and 140x30 for standard and rebated door installations, plus 32x12 and 42x12 DAR sets for rebate and stop work. Pencil Round (AS7) profiles are stocked in 42x18, 66x18 and 90x18, alongside 66x18 Bevel and a complete moulding family — quad in 12x12, 18x18, 23x23, scotia in 30x30, 18x18 P-Mould and 19x12.5 glazing bead — for full door surround sets.
Does Meranti through Birak count toward IPP procurement targets?
Yes. Birak is Supply Nation Registered, so all Meranti DAR, jamb sets, pencil round, glazing bead and moulding spend counts toward your 4% Indigenous Procurement Policy target. For door manufacturers and joinery shops with government, defence or education contracts, this allows the largest single timber substrate in the build — door and frame components — to be channelled through an Indigenous supplier without disrupting existing specifications.
Can Birak supply Meranti to joinery shops nationally?
Yes. Most Meranti suppliers operate within a single state, which forces multi-site joinery operations to maintain regional accounts. Birak ships the full Meranti DAR, jamb, glazing bead and moulding range Australia-wide on one trading account, with typical lead times of 5–10 business days for stocked sizes. Bulk and project-based orders can be coordinated under a single purchase order across multiple delivery destinations.
