The New Zealand Pine User Guide outlines suitability and versatility of
New Zealand pine for a wide range of end uses.
Plantation grown New Zealand pine is a light coloured, medium
density softwood with a moderately even texture that produces sawn
lumber with excellent machining properties. The even texture and
relatively small density variations across the grain in New Zealand
pine provide excellent finishing properties, uniform acceptance of
decorative stains and good paint retention.
New Zealand pine sawn lumber is a versatile structural building
material which is well suited to the 2x4 building system. It is used
equally successfully in larger buildings as glue-laminated lumber and
engineered wood products such as “I” beams.
New Zealand Pine is also being successfully used for a wide
range of appearance grade applications, ranging from interior fittings
and fixtures (windows, doors, frames and jambs, mouldings, stairs,
cabinetry and bench tops), exterior building products (fascia,
weatherboards, handrails, balustrades and door jambs) and furniture and
furniture components.
The increasing availability of
plantation-grown pine has enabled the New Zealand forest industry to
expand its production of semi-processed and fully finished products for
export.
