Imbue Radiata products are made from heat tempering clear grade FSC® certified New Zealand Radiata Pine. Virtually knotless, and a rich chocolate brown in colour.

Imbue Radiata has been tested extensively for over 15 years, both in lab and long-term accelerated field trials. This is combined with over a decade of real-world in-service history, so you can be confident of performance and durability for a lifetime.
