Radiata Pine (Pinus radiata) is a New Zealand grown timber, in fact it’s our main forestry timber. It’s a relatively quick growing softwood that readily accepts preservative treatment to make it durable enough to withstand rot.

Although it’s not as stable as Accoya wood or Western Red Cedar, it is well priced making it New Zealand's most popular timber for weatherboard cladding. According to the NZ Building Code Radiata Pine needs to last for a minimum of 15 years but maintaining the boards on a regular basis should see this time extend.

Profiles

Timber weatherboard systems are available in either vertical shiplap or horizontal (bevel back and rusticated) styles and there are many Profiles to choose from.
