TIMBER LOOK, ALUMINIUM STRENGTH FOR MODERN PUBLIC SPACES
09 Dec 2025
Astra Street Furniture’s new Premium Wood Grain Aluminium (WGA) Plank Range delivers the warmth and character of timber with the long-term performance, consistency and low maintenance of aluminium.
Originally introduced through its Premium Picnic Settings and Covered Picnic Setting, the range has now expanded significantly offering architects a complete material palette that can be applied across benches, seats, tables, junior furniture, modular layouts, accessibility-inclusive settings and grandstands.
Astra's wood grain aluminium planks replicate the colour and grain of natural timber while eliminating the inconsistencies and ongoing upkeep associated with real wood.
Benefits for designers:
- Warm, timber-like visual language
- UV-stable, fade-resistant finish
- Consistent tone across large precincts
- Suitable for coastal, urban and natural landscapes
The Premium WGA Range features fully welded aluminium frames and powder-coated slats designed for demanding public environments.
Performance advantages:
- No oiling, staining or sealing
- No warping, splitting or swelling
- Excellent corrosion resistance
- Reduced whole-of-life costs
The expansion of the Premium WGA Range allows designers to specify a unified material finish across an entire site. The collection now includes:
Benches & Seats
- Fixed benches: bolt-down, in-ground, wall-mounted and plinth-mounted (1–6m lengths)
- Portable/stackable benches
- Junior benches (fixed and portable)
- Fixed seats (bolt-down and in-ground)
Picnic Settings
- Traditional picnic settings (2m–6m)
