The Good Day House and Touchwood Veneer Panels: A Perfect Partnership

The Good Day House stands as a beacon of smart, sustainable design. Nestled in the serene seaside town of Torquay, this modern family home not only embodies energy efficiency but also celebrates the beauty of natural materials. An innovative use of Touchwood Veneer Panels in  Tasmanian Oak finish. These panels play a crucial role in shaping the home’s warm and inviting interior while adhering to its eco-friendly ethos.

About the Good Day House

The Good Day House is more than just a home; it’s designed specifically for both style and sustainability. With its 7.5-star energy efficiency rating, it is an all-electric residence equipped with thoughtful, eco-friendly materials. The vision behind the project was to create a space that balances aesthetics with functionality, ensuring long-term benefits for its owner builders, Al and Imo, and the environment.

“The Tasmanian Oak on Natural panels gave our home a warm, inviting feel while staying true to our sustainability goals. The ease of installation was unmatched!”

Recognising the need for a durable yet visually stunning material, Al and Imo chose Touchwood Veneer Panels to play a starring role throughout the house. From expansive ceilings to bespoke joinery, these panels added a distinct charm while meeting the high standards of energy efficiency and sustainability that define the build.

Why Touchwood Veneer Panels

Touchwood Veneer Panels were selected for their perfect combination of form and function. The Tasmanian Oak on Natural finish was chosen for its versatility and rich, warm character, making it an ideal complement to the Good Day House’s modern design.

These panels are crafted from sustainably sourced timber veneer, pressed onto moisture-resistant MDF with a vertical groove that mimics the look and feel of solid timber lining boards.

“These panels provided the perfect balance of beauty and practicality, allowing us to cover large areas quickly without compromising on quality.”

The versatility of Touchwood Veneer Panels allowed Al & Imo to maintain a consistency of material across the entire home:

  • Ceilings in the main living, dining, and kitchen areas.
  • Wall linings for a cohesive aesthetic.
  • Under the kitchen island bench for added texture.
  • Joinery doors in the bedrooms for a unified, natural look.

With large panel sizes and the tongue-and-groove system, panels were laid up and fitted together quickly and efficiently – allowing for volume coverage in very quick time.

Touchwood Veneer Panels played a pivotal role in bringing the vision of the Good Day House to life. By combining aesthetic appeal, sustainability, and practicality, these panels transformed this modern residence into a stunning haven of style and function. Whether used for walls, ceilings, or bespoke elements, they offer unmatched versatility and performance.
