Kiwi builders who are looking to line a wall, build a fence, set out a garden edge, or looking for a better general use project plank - Laminata advanced CLT timber technology will be your preferred choice: Made from New Zealand radiata pine and backed by local timber manufacturing.
PineLine INDOOR CLT Timber Planks
PineLine is our interior tongue and groove plank for wall and ceiling linings. It is designed for projects where finish matters just as much as ease of installation. The profile creates a clean, consistent surface, while the engineered structure helps reduce movement over time.
For builders, PineLine is a straightforward choice for lined interiors, garages, utility spaces, and architectural timber finishes. It suits projects that need a tidy result without the variability that often comes with standard timber boards.

PINEBUILD Indoor CLT Planks
PineBuild Indoors is a square-edge interior plank designed for flexibility. It is suited to general construction, shelving, fit-outs, workshop spaces, and a wide range of practical indoor applications where a fixed lining profile is not required.
Dressed on both sides and easy to work with, it gives builders and serious DIY users a reliable option for projects that need a clean finish, stable material, and more freedom in how the plank is used.
FenceLine Exterior Fencing CLT Timber Planks
FenceLine is our exterior plank designed specifically for fencing and boundary systems. Built using our unique XLP technology, it is made for outdoor exposure and developed to provide a straighter, more consistent fencing result.
Suited to both traditional timber fence builds and modern steel frame systems.
FenceLine offers a purpose-built fencing product that is easier to specify, easier to install, and better aligned to the expectations of today’s residential and light commercial projects.
Would you like to know more?
Laminata makes engineered cross laminated pine planks for interior lining, general construction, fencing, and outdoor projects. Each product is designed around application, so it is easier to choose the right plank for the job, install it efficiently, and get a more consistent result on site.
Laminata’s range is built around how timber is actually used in New Zealand. Some projects need a clean tongue and groove lining board. Others need a practical square-edge plank that can handle general construction or outdoor use. Our product range keeps that choice simple by separating interior and exterior applications clearly, with each product designed for a specific purpose.
Choosing the right timber product starts with understanding the application. Interior lining boards, general indoor planks, fencing systems, and outdoor construction products all perform differently, and they should be selected with that end use in mind. Laminata’s range is designed to make that decision easier by separating products according to where and how they are intended to be used.If you are comparing timber planks for fencing, wall linings, outdoor landscaping, or interior construction, the key difference is not just profile or finish. It is whether the product has been designed for dry interior use or exterior exposure, whether it needs a tongue and groove system or a square-edge format, and how much consistency you want across the finished build.
Laminata products are built from cross laminated pine to provide improved stability and a more predictable result on site. That makes them a practical choice for builders who want timber that is easier to install, easier to specify, and better suited to the demands of modern residential and light commercial work in New Zealand.
If you are unsure which product fits your project, start with the application first. PineLine is for interior lining. PINEBUILD Indoor planks are for versatile dry-use building and project work. FenceLine is for fencing. DURABUILD Outdoors is for landscaping and general exterior projects. That simple distinction helps reduce confusion and makes product selection faster for both trade and retail customers.
What are CLT timber planks?
CLT timber planks are engineered wood products made by bonding layers of timber together to improve stability, consistency, and performance. In the wider timber category, cross-lamination is valued because it helps create stronger, more predictable products than standard boards, especially where straightness, finish, and repeatability matter. In practical terms, CLT-style planks are designed to make timber easier to specify, easier to install, and more reliable over time.
Why use cross laminated timber instead of standard timber boards?
The main reason is stability. Cross-laminated timber is designed to reduce the warping, twisting, and movement that can occur in ordinary boards. That matters on site because more stable planks are easier to line up, easier to fix, and more likely to hold a consistent finish. For builders, that can mean less sorting, less correction during install, and a cleaner result across the completed project.
Where are CLT planks commonly used?
Cross-laminated timber is widely used in walls, floors, and roofs in larger structural systems, but the same engineered-timber principles also suit smaller-format plank products for interior lining, fencing, and outdoor project work. What matters most is matching the product to the application. Interior planks should be specified for dry-use conditions, while exterior planks need a product system and detailing intended for outdoor exposure.
Are CLT planks suitable for interior lining?
Yes, when the product is designed for interior use. CLT-style interior planks are well suited to wall and ceiling linings because stability, alignment, and finish quality all matter in visible spaces. For interior work, builders usually want a product that installs cleanly, maintains straight lines, and continues to look consistent over time. That is one of the clearest advantages of engineered timber over general-purpose boards.
Are CLT planks suitable for outdoor use?
They can be, but only when the product has been specifically developed and detailed for exterior use. Moisture management is one of the most important issues in any CLT-related product, and guidance consistently stresses that weather exposure, drainage, breathable protection, and edge sealing all matter. In other words, outdoor use depends on the manufacturer’s stated scope, treatment, and installation requirements, not just the fact that the product is timber.
What makes a good CLT plank product?A good CLT plank product is clearly defined by application, made consistently, and supported by proper technical information. Buyers want to know what the product is for, how it installs, what conditions it suits, and what limits apply. In New Zealand, product information requirements also place real importance on publishing scope of use, installation requirements, maintenance requirements, and Building Code contribution where relevant.
Do CLT planks install faster?
Engineered timber products are commonly chosen because they help create a more efficient build process. When planks are consistent in size, straighter in profile, and designed for a clear application, installation becomes more predictable. That does not remove the need for good workmanship, but it does reduce the time lost correcting material variation. On practical projects, that can translate into smoother workflow, less rework, and better sequencing on site.
What should builders check before choosing a timber plank?B
uilders should start with application. Is the product intended for interior lining, general indoor construction, fencing, or exterior project work? From there, the important checks are profile, finish, installation method, service environment, and published product information. The key is to avoid treating all timber planks as interchangeable. Engineered plank systems work best when the product, environment, and installation detail are aligned from the beginning.
Why does product information matter so much?
Because builders, merchants, and specifiers need more than marketing claims. In New Zealand, designated building products must have information available so buyers can understand how the product contributes to compliance, what it is intended for, and what requirements apply before purchase. For timber planks, that makes clear technical information a major trust factor. It helps users choose the right product and reduces the risk of misuse or incorrect specification.
