Biowood delivers ‘practical elegance’ for modern builds
In the modern New Zealand construction landscape, residential and commercial contractors are constantly balancing the demand for premium architectural design against the hard realities of site compliance, longevity, and maintenance.
While the warmth of natural wood remains highly sought after, finding solutions that ease long-term care while preserving that classic look is a key priority for modern builds.
“To meet this need, bbi Wood Products delivers Biowood – an innovative, sustainably reconstituted composite timber system designed for high-performance cladding, soffits, screening, and decking,” says Ryan Stowers, architectural specification manager.
Composed of 69% Baltic Pine wood powder blended with UPVC and specialised additives, Stowers says the range offers a distinct natural aesthetic, retaining the authentic look and tactile feel of natural timber with lower upkeep than traditional pine decks.
“For commercial builders and developers, compliance is paramount. Select Biowood cladding profiles carry CodeMark Certification (CMNZ70123) for guaranteed building compliance and peace of mind,” says Stowers.
He says Biowood has been time-tested across applications in 29 countries and that the system is inherently flame, water, mould, mildew, and termite resistant.
It also boasts a Global GreenTag Level B certification, making it an “excellent choice for projects conscious of environmental standards”.
From a practical perspective, Biowood streamlines the installation process. Supplied in 5.85-metre set lengths to reduce waste, its “clever design provides negative detailing for a seamless finish”.
“It is a low-maintenance choice where optional re-sanding and re-sealing may be performed as desired to maintain its appearance over time.”
Biowood is backed by bbi’s 15-year limited warranty and a nationwide merchant distribution network.
