Wood Made Better Make DIY beautiful with the Clearboard range of panel and board products. Clearboard is a stunning and unique range of boards and panels that provide clear, knot-free grain at lengths up to 1820mm and widths up by 450mm.

Made from carefully farmed pine, Clearwood is as easy to work with as it is beautiful, making it perfect for DIY applications.

Combine that with an extensive range of panel and board dimensions that are suitable for any projects, and you’ll see that any interior project can be made with Clearboard.

Better to Work Clearboard can stand up to being worked without splitting. It can be easily cut, drilled, sanded and more. The combination of soft wood and straight grain gives it strength and stability like few other timbers.

The wide range of sizes which are delivered in two complementary DIY ranges (Laminated Panels & Non laminated Boards) provide the DIY customer with exciting possibilities and opportunities in their projects.

Better to Finish Clearboard comes to you pre-machined, meaning that it can be finished with a minimum of fuss with clear oils and clear coatings such as lacquer. It also paints and stains easily in a variety of colours. Its clear, even and consistent grain provides the perfect surface for any finish.

Better to Use Clearboard is a

natural, durable and resilient material for interior applications. It is also completely formaldehyde free; allowing your project to be used for generations.

Our tree farming process ensures that Clearwood is flawless, easy to work with, and affordable. Read the tree rings to see how we make our wood better.

Clearboard is uniquely a product of the New Zealand environment, its people and its innovative attitude to forestry. Clearboard is manufactured by Pacific Wood Products (PWP). We are based in the renowned wine growing region of Hawkes Bay, New Zealand. This area ranges from the inward alpine mountain ranges through wide plains to the rugged coastline.

Clearboard timber is sourced from our ‘Forest Stewardship Council’ (FSC) certified forests and is harvested and tracked through our production facilities. We always consider ‘whole of forest solutions’ in order to use every part of our forest resource. For example, lower value logs and waste sawmill chip are turned into pulp for paper products, while high value pruned logs are sent to our sawmill for conversion to Clearboards.

Areas of our forests are available for public access with the Eskdale Forest having one of the largest mountain biking facilities in New Zealand.
