NuWood The solid wood substitute for precious hardwoods.

NuWood timber begins as radiata pine grown in managed plantations. The pine is then given the properties of a premium hardwood species using NuWoods unique technology. The NuWood process, developed by the New Zealand Forest Research Institute, involves impregnating each cell with a "cellulose-type" solution derived from products such as tapioca, barley and wheat.

The wood is kilned, impregnated and re-kilned - a process known as "pouring wood into wood".

The end result is a material that is 70% radiata and 30% cellulose which, in terms of performance characteristics, strength and resilience is a match for hardwood.

The timber is also through stained during the process to resemble a wide range of hardwood species.

Available in 19mm and 10mm thickness.

As easy to lay as any hardwood floor, as durable as any premium hardwood but it's not a hardwood. It's a hard, solid wood.
