Showroom Buzz: Auckland
Saul Harman, our Auckland Branch Manager, brings you the latest from the field. It's been a busy month with events like Carters Tool Sales and the Pacemaker’s Expo, allowing us to connect and learn from our customers and partners.
Market Trends
We're seeing a significant market upswing, especially in hardwood decking sales. Despite high demand and limited supply, we've successfully kept our promise of timely deliveries. Our Australian hardwood cladding, Weathertex, is also in high demand, challenging us with brief stock shortages, now resolved with new arrivals.

Product of the month
Accoya Color Grey Decking – recently launched in NZ and just in time for Summer!
Thanks to a sophisticated dying process, Accoya Color Grey decking boards are dyed all the way through – from the surface to the core. The grey colour remains for the long term and requires no oiling or re-dying. Since the grey colour is all the way through the board, it also means scratches and scrapes are not visible.
Accoya Color Grey is a beautiful natural colour grey from day one, unlike other timber alternatives. It’s warranted for 50 years in above ground applications. What’s more it’s sustainable and nontoxic so wont leach nasty chemicals into the ground or pool.
Decking profiles available: 90mm x 19mm, 140mm x 19, 190 mm x 19mm
