KWILA
Kwila is a high-quality hardwood known for its excellent working and finishing qualities. It sands smoothly to a fine finish and polishes to a rich, golden lustre, making it an ideal choice for handrails. Renowned for its strength, durability, and refined appearance, Kwila adds both beauty and lasting quality to any interior space.
OAK
Oak is a warm, dense, and durable hardwood, making it an ideal choice for handrails. It machines easily, delivering a smooth, refined finish. With its colour ranging from pale straw to reddish brown, Oak stains beautifully, allowing for a customised, long-lasting finish that enhances any interior.
RADIATA PINE
Radiata Pine is a relatively soft, low-density timber, making it easy to work with and ideal for handrails. Featuring a straight grain and wide annual growth rings, it accepts preservatives well, ensuring durability. Its versatility makes it a great choice for creating smooth, attractive handrails for any interior space.
SALUSALU
Salusalu is a low-density timber perfect for interior handrails, offering a fine, even texture and a colour range from pale brown to golden orange-brown. While not suitable for structural applications, its aesthetic appeal and ease of work make it an excellent choice for decorative handrails. Often used as a substitute for Rimu, it brings a warm, natural touch to any space.
