Southern Pine is renowned for its natural advantages of strength, flexibility and durability.

Its proven success for flooring, panelling, kitchen cabinets, doors and windows is now being equalled by its growing demand in the furniture manufacture sector.

The rich, warm beauty of Southern Pine makes it the perfect choice for all furniture styles, from classic to contemporary, and its aesthetic qualities will enhance any home.

Independent tests have proved that the physical properties of Southern Pine are superior to other softwoods. Carried out by TRADA, the internationally recognised timber research authority, the tests found that Southern Pine is superior to softwoods from Chile, Brazil, New Zealand and Europe. The tests were for impact bending and hardness.
