Below are some recent projects that have utilised the superior strength of Northpine's Northbeam product range.
Radiata pine grown in Northland is the strongest and stiffest mature pine produced in NZ so it’s ideal for specialist structural uses such as beams, square posts and SG10 applications. At our Waipu sawmill, Northpine combines these natural attributes with our ability to manufacture and custom process small batches of timber.
This product range is called Northbeam.
Standard products are generally available from all merchants throughout New Zealand within 3-4 days of order confirmation - longer if bespoke sizes or treatment.
Many products are available in lengths up to 7.2m, improving span capacity by up to 30%
Available in standard timber sizes to ensure seamless matching with other structural timber members
Northpine SG10 allows the optimisation of stud centre requirements, significantly reducing timber usage and the weight of frames
Merchants need only to order the volume of stock required for each job (no slow-moving SKUs left in the yard)
Beams and SG10 are standard sizes, so there’s no need to ‘pack’ timber to achieve sizing requirements
Architects and designers can use our helpful SG8/SG10 Span Tables to calculate the best products for their projects.
