A timber grown slowly, at the edge of the world.
Sourced direct from the sawmills of central Siberia and imported into New Zealand — premium larch for decking, cladding, flooring and facades. No middlemen, no import headache, savings up to 70%.
Why larch outlasts everything around it.
Siberian larch grows in the taiga of central Siberia, where long, brutal winters slow it to a crawl. The result is a softwood that behaves like a hardwood — tight-grained, dense, and saturated with natural resin.
That resin is the point. It resists rot and decay without any chemical treatment, and the density makes it hard for anything to take hold. Left alone, it lasts for decades and weathers to a quiet silver-grey.
Freshly milled Ten years on
Warm honey-gold, straight from the saw. Oil it to hold this tone, or let it weather naturally. Left untreated, larch silvers to an even pewter-grey — with no loss of strength or durability.
Four ways to build with it.
Grown in one of the world’s last great wildernesses — and renewable, with no chemical treatment needed to last.
Measured against the usual options.
From the taiga to your build, in four steps.

Supplied by people who actually know the timber.
Supreme Wood Products LTD has supplied Siberian larch to New Zealand builders, architects and homeowners for years — working directly with sawmills in central Siberia rather than through importers and resellers.
Founder Jonathan Towers manages every order personally, from quote to collection, and holds stock in three locations so you can see and handle the timber before you commit.
Trusted across New Zealand.
“The price was well under anything we could find locally — and the timber came denser and straighter than the cedar we’d been quoting.”
“We clad an entire coastal home in larch. Two winters in and it’s silvering exactly as promised — no cupping, no rot.”
“Jonathan sorted the import and we collected locally. Easiest timber order we’ve done in years.”
Questions, answered.
What is Siberian larch and why is it so durable?
Siberian larch is a slow-grown softwood from the taiga of central Siberia. The harsh climate makes it exceptionally dense (650–700 kg/m³ when dried) and rich in natural resin, giving high resistance to rot, decay and wear — one of the toughest, most durable softwoods available.
How much can I save buying direct?
Because we source directly from Siberian sawmills with no middlemen, customers typically save up to 70% compared with imported timber bought through major New Zealand retailers.
What products and profiles do you supply?
We supply Siberian larch as rough-sawn kiln-dried timber, or moulded into decking, cladding, flooring and paneling profiles — suitable for interior and exterior, residential and commercial work.
Where can I pick up the timber in New Zealand?
We hold stock in three locations: Auckland (head office, 81 Dunkirk Rd, Panmure), Christchurch (Belfast Timber Processing) and Dunedin (Wood Solutions). You’re welcome to view the timber or arrange collection — just get in touch.
Does Siberian larch need much maintenance?
Very little. Its high density and natural resin give a virtually maintenance-free service life and rot resistance without chemical treatment. Left untreated it weathers to silver-grey; it can also be oiled or charred to suit your look.
