Radiata pine (Monterey pine)
Botanical name: Pinus radiata
Family: Pinaceae
Origin: North America

A native of California, USA, the trees have adapted well to the soils and climatic conditions of New Zealand (NZ). NZ Pine yields a strong, economical and versatile light-coloured timber. Tall, clear trunks produce timber highly suited for furniture and all forms of show wood applications.

"The availability of New Zealand Pine as a sustainable and renewable resource makes it an attractive and acceptable alternative to timber species from the world's dwindling natural forests."

The timber we use is milled by Eastcoast Lumber, they process timber from planted forests that have reached harvest age of 25 - 28 years in the Wairoa area. Many of these plantations were encouraged to be planted for environmental and conservation reasons, to prevent land errosion and economical diversification.

Treatment Type Europe: Light Organic Solvent Preservative (L.O.S.P)

This fast batch process uses a proven treating technology originating in England and used in New Zealand for over 25 years. Timber is machined then treated in its final form to ensure complete protection of all components.

Active ingrediants: : Non metallic Azoles (Propiconazole and Tebuconazole), IPBC & Permethrin formulation with proprietary water repellents.

The preservatives used in TimTech™ AzUS Vacuum Pressure treated wood are recognized in Europe, United States, Australia, Japan, and New Zealand for wood protection and effectively help protect wood from rot, decay, and termites.
