Radiata Pine – The Super Renewable Wood
New Zealand-grown Pinus Radiata is a ‘super softwood’ of the 21st century – one of the most attractive and versatile industrial wood species available in global markets. It performs consistently well across a wider range of commercial applications when compared with almost any other species – including all of the following categories:
Joinery and Interiors
Favoured for windows, doors, frames and jambs, mouldings, stairs, cabinetry and bench tops. Solid-clear, finger-jointed and laminated product options are available.
Furniture and Components
Excellent technical properties, finishes easily in natural or enhanced colours and is adaptable to most furniture styles. Demand for partially and fully processed components includes: blanks, edge-glued panels, clear and finger-jointed cut stock for further remanufacture, mouldings, stair parts, door and window parts and furniture components.
Construction and Packaging
Strength, stiffness and good working properties make pine a popular choice for 2×4 and post-and-beam construction. Kiwi Lumber products are also used extensively in landscaping applications which include decks, and even tourism facility structures across our national parks. Also used widely for pallets, wooden packaging and cable drums.
