Ready Pine is prefinished tongue-and-groove pine panelling, ready to install straight from the box. It brings the warmth of real pine to walls and ceilings without the sanding, staining and sealing. Each board is finished in the factory in Waterloo, Ontario, and end-matched, so installers get clean joints, less waste, and a finished surface the moment the last board goes up. Ready Pine panels are made from select tight-knot pine grown in British Columbia’s Kootenay region. Water-based stains and a UV-cured, low-sheen topcoat give an even, durable finish that’s sealed on the back to resist warping. Use it on feature walls, vaulted ceilings, and covered porch ceilings and soffits. Nicholson Cates stocks the range for dealers and builders across Canada.

V-Match has a bevelled edge that forms a V-shaped groove between boards for a classic look. Nickel Gap leaves a small, even square reveal between boards for a cleaner, modern shiplap line.
The ends of each board are tongued and grooved as well as the sides. Joints can fall between framing members, so installers cut less and waste less.
