Why Choose Design Pine from Canterbury?

Proven Timber Preservation System

Every Design Pine product at Canterbury features an innovative organic preservation system rated to H3 level. This means protection against decay and insect attack in all above-ground applications – exactly what you need in Australia.

The preservative contains no heavy metals and thus is safe for high-contact areas around your family and pets. Waxes and resins in the system help reduce moisture uptake, keeping your timbers stable and warping-free for years to come. You get a solid 25-year durability guarantee-that's real peace of mind.

Revolutionary Blue Primer Technology

The design pine blue primer system is really quite revolutionary. Not only is it more UV-stable and flexible than regular primers, it can sit exposed on site for as many as 12 weeks without degrading. That behind-the-scenes moisture management system is ideal for Australian building conditions; there is no racing around to get everything painted in a hurry.

Engineered for Australian conditions

Design Pine timber is made from plantation-grown Radiata pine, with all natural defects removed through a process of finger jointing and lamination. The result? Straighter, stronger, more stable boards than conventional timber. This engineered approach reduces the risk of resin bleed and keeps your finished product looking professional for the long term.

Quality Component Selection

Canterbury knows that each element counts. Design Pine doesn't compromise: only the finest quality glue systems, preservation treatments, primers, and timbers are used. Attention to quality at every stage is the factor differentiating Design Pine from less expensive products.

Pre-Primed and Ready to Go

Most of the products from Design Pine come pre-primed from Canterbury, cutting down on your prep work. Once you've got them installed, you're ready for topcoats-no faffing around with base coats and waiting periods. The reputation of Canterbury for stocking only premium and quality products means that when you are buying Design Pine, you get the real deal. Not only do they stock the complete range, but their staff knows the products inside out and can help you choose what's right for your project.
