For architects, specifiers and trade.
Specification support, sample provision, trade pricing, and factory pre-coating through NorthTreat — designed around how architectural projects actually run.
How we work with the trade
Five ways we support architectural projects.
Request painted timber samples in your specified colour and species. We will prepare samples on the timber you're using, not generic swatches.
Samples are available in all fourteen WOCA Exterior Wood Oil colours. Lead time for custom samples is typically [PLACEHOLDER] business days.
Full technical data sheets, safety data sheets, application guides and maintenance schedules — ready to drop into your specification documents.
All documents are available in PDF format and can be provided on letterhead for formal specifications.
Available for each product in the WOCA exterior range: Exterior Wood Oil, Exterior Wood Cleaner, and Exterior Wood Primer.
Available for builders, applicators, and qualifying trade customers. Pricing structure is volume-based.
To enquire about trade pricing, contact us with your company name, project type, and estimated volume requirements. We'll respond within one business day.
For projects where weather, scale or finish consistency matter, your timber can be factory pre-coated before it reaches site.
This eliminates on-site weather delays, ensures consistent coverage, and is particularly valuable for cladding at scale.
Pre-coating is delivered by NorthTreat from their Riverhead facility. Boards arrive on site ready to install — no scaffolding required for the initial coat.
Two decades of practical timber-coating experience in New Zealand conditions. We will tell you honestly when WOCA is the right product, and when it isn't.
Whether you're selecting a colour for a coastal cedar home or specifying a finish for an alpine deck, we can offer guidance on product selection, recoat intervals, and what to expect in specific New Zealand environments.
Why factory pre-coat?
Site application of exterior wood oil is straightforward, but it depends on weather windows, applicator availability, and consistent technique. For larger projects, or projects with tight programmes, factory pre-coating offers practical advantages.
