Colours and grain patterns can vary widely from the examples shown, but the photographs are intended as a reasonable guideline as to what you might expect in the selected timber. It should be appreciated that timber is a natural product and therefore no two pieces are exactly the same.

The property that causes timber to swell and shrink due to air moisture, is called hygroscopicity. The common method of preventing this is to seal the surface of timber so it cannot freely come into contact with the air. Paints, varnishes and lacquers are used for this purpose. All faces of the timber, seen and unseen, should be coated, paying particular attention to end grain surfaces.

Canadian Western Red Cedar is a very stable timber available for door construction. High colour variation can make it difficult to perfectly colour match doors. Cedar can easily vary from chocolate brown, to a redish colour. (See next timber sample for other colour variations). Care needs to be exercised when handling Cedar because of its soft characteristics.

[/fusion_modal][fusion_modal name=”cedar2″ title=”Cedar 2″ size=”small” background=”” border_color=”” show_footer=”yes” class=”” id=””]

Another colour variation to Canadian Western Red Cedar.

[/fusion_modal][fusion_modal name=”whiteoak” title=”American White Oak” size=”small” background=”” border_color=”” show_footer=”yes” class=”” id=””]

Premium creamy-light brown coloured interior finishing timber. Very good colour-matching with regular grain pattern. Popular with office fit-outs and the “high end” home market.

[/fusion_modal][fusion_modal name=”rimu” title=”Cottage Rimu” size=”small” background=”” border_color=”” show_footer=”yes” class=”” id=””]

Colour varies from a soft yellow through to reddy browns and creams. Contains knots and bark holes which tend to give a recycled appearance.

[/fusion_modal][fusion_modal name=”maple” title=”American Hard Maple” size=”small” background=”” border_color=”” show_footer=”yes” class=”” id=””]

Also known as American Maple, which has a fine, even texture and colour, and is straight grained. A hard wood.

[/fusion_modal][fusion_modal name=”heartrimu” title=”Heart Rimu” size=”small” background=”” border_color=”” show_footer=”yes” class=”” id=””]

New Zealand’s premium appearance grade timber. Beautiful grain and colour-match properties. Availability of this timber can have an impact on our ability to produce doors in a timely manner. Care must be taken when positioning Heart Rimu product relative to direct sunlight. Please contact this office for more information.

[/fusion_modal][fusion_modal name=”radiata” title=”NZ Radiata” size=”small” background=”” border_color=”” show_footer=”yes” class=”” id=””]

Untreated plantation grown pine for interior use. Tanalised for exterior. Generally used in paint quality doors.

[/fusion_modal][fusion_modal name=”jarrah” title=”Jarrah” size=”small” background=”” border_color=”” show_footer=”yes” class=”” id=””]

Red Australian hardwood. Very heavy with rich colour. Will sometimes have grey streaks through it. Popular for flooring and exterior joinery. Grades vary and defects including bark holes and resin pockets are common and cannot be totally avoided.

[/fusion_modal][fusion_modal name=”kauri” title=”Kauri” size=”small” background=”” border_color=”” show_footer=”yes” class=”” id=””]

Kauri is an even grained, light coloured timber sourced from the south pacific including Fiji and Vanuatu. It is a widely used and attractively priced door material. A relative of the now commercially unavailable New Zealand Kauri.

[/fusion_modal][fusion_modal name=”oregon” title=”Oregon (Canadian or American)” size=”small” background=”” border_color=”” show_footer=”yes” class=”” id=””]

A smooth fine texture with a strongly marked growth ring figure. This timber was once commonly used in door construction but has now virtually disappeared from use – except for the renovation market. This market generally requires Craftsman style doors.

[/fusion_modal][fusion_modal name=”mahogany” title=”Sapele Mahogany” size=”small” background=”” border_color=”” show_footer=”yes” class=”” id=””]

Very common once and making a modest comeback. Very consistent colour and grain. Very attractive material option for our products.

[/fusion_modal][fusion_modal name=”tawa” title=”NZ Tawa” size=”small” background=”” border_color=”” show_footer=”yes” class=”” id=””]

Dwindling resource of this once widely used timber. Grades and quality can vary. Colour consistency is good, either yellow or white.

[/fusion_modal][fusion_modal name=”ash” title=”Victorian Ash” size=”small” background=”” border_color=”” show_footer=”yes” class=”” id=””]

A Eucalypt (gum tree) milled in both Tasmania and Victoria. Sometimes called Tasmanian Oak. Attractive colour based around variations of pale pink. Heavy, very hard, and sometimes prone to thin dark streaks.
