Our Promise
The year we started making composite
Most composite brands arrived in Australia last week. We didn't.
We’ve been making composite longer than most, and we’ve been refining it for just as long. Every product in the PermaTimber and PermaStruct range has been shaped by real feedback from the Australian builders, installers and engineers who use it.
That’s why retailers stock us. That’s why architects specify us. That’s why Australia’s leading builders trust us. And that’s why the job turns out the way it should.
Why build with Perma Composites
Four reasons the job turns out better.
Composite is mainstream now. Choosing the right composite isn’t. Here’s what sets Perma apart from the imports, the newcomers, and the warehouse brands.
01 / Proven
Fifteen-plus years, built and refined in Australia.
You’re not buying something that might hold up. You’re buying the composite Australian builders have been installing, testing and trusting since 2010.
- 15+ years in-market
- Case studies across all states
- Long-standing installer partners
02 / Made Better
Improved every year, through real Australian feedback.
We don’t ship a spec sheet and hope. Each iteration of the range answers a real problem raised by a builder, installer or retailer who uses the product daily.
- Solid (not hollow) decking
- Custom PermaTimber fixing system
- Australian-specific formulations
- Ongoing product evolution
03 / Beautifully Finished
The composite that earns its place in the design.
Specified by architects and chosen by homeowners because it holds up aesthetically – not because it’s a composite compromise. Range depth no other composite brand matches.
- Eight interior lining profiles
- Natural-look decking range
- Architect-ready specifications
- Project gallery on request
04 / Backed
Stocked and supported by Australia's leading retailers.
When you buy Perma, you’re choosing a product the country’s serious building retailers have chosen to carry – with a real local supply chain behind it.

- National supplier network
- 10 year warranty

Made better
A decade of refinements the others haven't made.
Every composite looks similar on a sample board. What matters is what happens at year five, year eight, year ten. Here’s what we’ve learned and changed along the way.
We started making composite for Australian conditions.
UV load, temperature swing, coastal air, bushfire zones – these conditions aren’t in the spec sheet of imported product. We built to them from day one.
QuickBoard was born.
We saw a gap in the market, and built QuickBoard, our interior wall and ceiling lining range.
We expanded East.
Our second office was set up in Victoria and we started our long term partnership with Bowens.
We invented castellated cladding
Before Castellated, exterior composite cladding meant flat boards. We changed that, designing a distinctive ribbed profile that gave architects a new tool and homeowners a facade that actually looked considered. A new aesthetic for Australian exteriors.
We achieved certification, early.
Accreditation for ISO: 9001:2015 (Quality) @ A/S NZS:4801(OH,S) was gained well before category peers. Because our specifiers and project buyers needed the paperwork to match the product.
Into Bunnings
PermaTimber hit the shelves at Bunnings Warehouse, putting PVC profiles within reach of every builder, renovator and homeowner in Australia. Wider access, same uncompromising product.
A better fixing system
We redesigned our QuickBoard fixing system from scratch, moving to a clip-based installation method that made installs faster, cleaner and more forgiving on site. Less fuss for tradies. Better results for everyone.
We became the first business to introduce a range of PVC profiles to Australia
Our PVC profiles and skirting boards expanded our range of composite products for Australian home owners and builders.
InstaBoard is born
Our newest range. InstaBoard brings the same PermaTimber DNA to interior wall and ceiling lining – tongue-and-groove, no clips, no painting, no upkeep. The smarter way to line a space.
