When David Bracher of Bracher Timbers in Cooma built a new indoor pool at his home, he chose Western Red Cedar lining boards for the ceiling to give the room warmth and an added feature. In speaking to his regular contact at Tilling Timber , Bracher discovered the advantages of going with Lustre pre-finished lining boards.

Lustre lining boards are pre-finished with four coats of satin UV cured polyurethane so require no treating or coating on-site – just the thing when installed on the ceiling – especially over a pool.


The rich red and brown colours of the pre-finished Western Red Cedar contrast beautifully with the sparkling, blue pool and the surrounding manicured gardens and lawn. It’s the perfect place for al fresco dining and entertaining.

Bracher would have no hesitation in using Lustre in the future and recommends the product for anyone who is thinking of a special feature in their home. He said, “the ease of using Lustre pre-finished lining boards, especially on the ceiling, was so time efficient and economical there was no other real alternative. And because Lustre is end matched and comes in various lengths it is easy to use and install.”
