CLT (Cross-laminated timber)
CLT is the lowest carbon building material. It is made by layering wood panels alternating in 90 degree angles to each other, and bonding them together with adhesive. It is usually 3-7 layers but more layers can be done if required. From recent independant assessment, Red Stag TimberLab’s CLT carbon figures are significantly better than those of our competitors and definitely, other building materials.
GLULAM
Glulam is the process of lamination that maximises the benefits available in timber construction in a unique way. Glue laminated timber is an engineered structural material consisting of a number of graded, kiln dried and selected full length laminations. Laminated timber is also noted for its inherent ability to withstand the effects of fire. It has a superior fire resistance rating when compared to steel. The process of manufacture is carefully controlled requiring conformance to internationally recognised standards; Red Stag TimberLab’s plant is regularly inspected to ensure ongoing compliance.
VERTIX AND GLTH
Vertix and GLTh are engineered laminated timber products designed for high performance structural applications, including lintels, rafters, ridge beams, and floor beams. Vertix uses vertically laminated timber for improved stiffness and stability, while GLTh features horizontal laminations for consistent structural performance. Both offer reliable dimensional stability. Products are available in H1.2 or H3.2 treatment, are independently tested for structural and fire performance, and deliver strong sustainability and cost advantages over steel and concrete.
LVL FABRICATION
Fabricating LVL panels into beams and columns requires specialist techniques that Red Stag TimberLab has incorporated into its expertise. Slabs of LVL are glued together to form large wall panels, beams and columns up to 1200mm deep and almost any width and length. The results are strong energy-absorbing structures especially suited to provide seismic resistance using post tension frame systems or large shear walls.

CAD/CAM
Red Stag TimberLab has a commitment to provide our customers with solutions that are clearly and accurately defined; the finished product will only be as good as the design & drawing it was made from. To make sure the finished structure is as accurate as it can be, Red Stag TimberLab has invested in state of the art 3D CAD modelling. This is transferred to the CAM program that drives the CNC processor so that items are produced accurately and reflect the original drawing.
CNC PROCESSING
Red Stag TimberLab has a long heritage in engineered timber, with expertise dating back to 1958. We continue to advance timber fabrication in New Zealand with our suite of five 5-axis CNC processing centres, including large-format gantry and advanced machining systems that deliver precise, automated processing of structural timber elements for CLT, glulam and LVL.
L-BOND
L-Bond® Project Panel is a timber panel designed for use in various interior design applications and can be utilised by joiners / carpenters to satisfy a number of end products. Its vertically orientated 3mm thick veneers provide a unique finish with strong linear pattern. The panel is a solid timber product so it can in most cases, be self-supporting.
CONNECTIONS
Efficient and accurately produced connections are critical to the successful installation of engineered timber structures. Through an integrated approach encompassing connection design, supply, and factory-installed prefabrication, Red Stag TimberLab delivers repeatable accuracy for complex connection details. Advanced CNC processing enables precise cutting, drilling, rebating, grooving, mortising, and bevelling to demanding tolerances, supporting reliable and efficient on-site installation.
