Radiata pine The Timber of Choice
The white timber of radiata pine has a multitude of uses and is highly sought after on the global market. As a result of decades of investment in forestry research, New Zealand's radiata pine forests produce timber of uniform colour and density. When you choose a New Zealand manufactured pine product made from timber sourced from one of our sustainably managed forests, you are making a responsible choice.
Sustainable New Zealand Timber
Wood is one of the most renewable and sustainable building materials. The cycle of planting and harvesting of plantation forests results in the removal and storage of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. This helps make timber an environmentally friendly choice for anyone concerned about their carbon footprint.
Niagara uses timber exclusively produced in New Zealand's radiata pine plantation forests and was among the first sawmills in New Zealand to be certified as a supplier of FSC® (Forest Stewardship Council®) timber products. The timber from these forests meets the standards set by FSC for environmentally responsible, socially beneficial, and economically viable forest management.
This means Niagara supplies a product that carries the internationally prized FSC certification.
