Radiata Pine

ITI NZ

Radiata Pine is the most commonly used weatherboard species and is sourced from sustainably managed forests in New Zealand. It is a medium-density softwood, straight-grained with an even texture. It is treated to H3.2 for durability and works well with hand and machine tools. Heartwood is light brown in colour and is non-durable to perishable in regards to decay resistance. Sapwood is pale yellowish-white colour treated with preservatives to be used in external applications. There is a possibility to cause allergic skin reactions or asthma while working. 

Radiata Pine is easily processed, dried and treated, and will take staining and coating. It is used in conjunction with a range of structural adhesives.
