For interior applications, New Zealand Macrocarpa panelling brings a warm, rustic aesthetic to walls, ceilings, and decorative linings. Its golden-brown heartwood, with a speckled lustre, creates a cozy, inviting atmosphere, making it ideal for homes, cabins, and commercial spaces. The wood’s fine grain machines and sands well, resulting in a smooth, high-quality finish that readily accepts paints, oils, and varnishes. Macrocarpa’s natural resistance to borers (in both heartwood and sapwood) ensures long-term durability in indoor environments, where it can last indefinitely. Additionally, its aromatic, spicy scent—often likened to pencil shavings—adds a sensory appeal, making it a great choice for spaces like pantries or cabinetry, where it can naturally deter insects.
