New Zealand radiata is recognised as a \u2018super softwood\u2019<\/h4>\n

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 than almost any other species.<\/p>\n

Independant scientific studies prove that New Zealand radiata performs better than most of the world\u2019s widely available renewable softwoods \u2013 and many hardwoods.<\/h4>\n

Radiata pine<\/strong> outperforms major competing timbers from North America, Europe and the tropics. In a Forest research comparison of machining and mechanical properties with 13 similar North American species, it finished a clear winner, with an overall score of 70% against an average score of 59%.<\/p>\n

It also performs well when matched against many higher-priced tropical species, including ramin, nyotah, white seraya, jeltong, rubberwood and tusam. Overall difference are so small that radiata pine<\/em> could easily replace any of them.<\/p>\n

The machining qualities of radiata pine<\/span> have also been matched against a range of widely available renewable softwoods in britain and Europe, and it emerged second only to parana pine.<\/p>\n

Contrary to some opinion, fast growth does not adversly affect the machining properties of radiata pine. Good results can be obtained with all types of hand and machine tools.<\/p>\n

It performs consistently well across a wider range of commercial applications than almost any other species \u2013 including all of the following categories:<\/p>\n

JOINERY AND INTERIORS<\/h4>\n

favoured for windows, doors, frames and jambs, mouldings, stairs, cabinetry and bench tops. Solid-clear, fingerjointed and laminated product options are available.
\nFURNITURE AND COMPONENTS<\/p>\n

Exellent technical properties, finishes easily in natural or enhanced colours and adaptable to most furniture styles. Demand for partiality and fully processed components includes: blanks, edge-glued panels, clear and fingerjointed cutstock for further remanufacture: mouldings, stair parts, door and window parts and furniture components.<\/p>\n

CONSTRUCTION AND PACKAGING<\/h4>\n

Strength, stiffness and good working properties make radiata pine sawn timber a popular choice for pallets, packaging and cable drums.<\/p>\n

Summary<\/h4>\n
    \n
  • Medium density (500kg\/m3 @ 12% mc)<\/li>\n
  • Doesn\u2019t split<\/li>\n
  • Good to cut<\/li>\n
  • Easy to treat<\/li>\n
  • Easy to nail<\/li>\n
  • Strength & stiffness<\/li>\n
  • Appearance<\/li>\n
  • FSC certified<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
