Rimu Flooring

Rimu (Dacrydium cupressinum) makes a great timber floor, and is also commonly used for furniture and panelling. Sometimes it is kown as Red Pine.

DISTRIBUTION
Rimu is a native of New Zealand. The species grows throughout the country but by far the major volume is grown on the West Coast of the South Island with only relatively minor volumes scattered throughout the North Island.

QUALITY STANDARDS AND GENERAL PROPERTIES
Rimu is graded into appearance grades only. Grading also differentiates between heartwood and sapwood.

The timber machines reasonably well, and is easily sanded to a very smooth finish. It is one of the traditional timbers used in the manufacture of high quality furniture.
