Traditional villas and bungalows have long appealed to homeowners in New Zealand. And this is largely due to their handcrafted solid wood construction and distinctive architectural detailing.

Not surprisingly, these are the very elements you will most want to retain when undertaking a renovation project, but sourcing matching products hasn't always been easy.

There is a solution, however. Kauri Warehouse and Rickman Mouldings can replicate your original woodwork. For example, Kauri Warehouse has recycled hardwood beams suitable for both interior and exterior use. These structural beams have a commanding presence and will keep their looks and strength.

Replacing mouldings is also easy Rickman Mouldings has pine and rimu mouldings to match those in traditional bungalows and colonial villas. In addition to its large range of colonial and modern stock mouldings, the company can custom machine timber to virtually any profile.

Recycled timber flooring, including tongue-and-groove boards, overlays or laminates, will also provide a seamless look for your home renovation.
