Custom timber joinery for homes and buildings
Based in Auckland, we work on projects throughout New Zealand and welcome international enquiries.
For nearly 40 years, Cedarlite Industries has been creating custom timber joinery for projects where quality, craftsmanship and architectural detail matter. From high-end new homes and commercial buildings to villas, bungalows and significant heritage properties, our experienced Master Joiners manufacture timber windows, doors and one-off architectural joinery specifically for each project.
Our Auckland workshop combines traditional joinery skills and an extensive knowledge of timber with modern five-axis CNC technology, giving us the capability to take on intricate heritage reproductions, oversized joinery, complex architectural designs and unusual ideas that require a specialist approach. We work with homeowners, architects and builders, providing practical input as well as the manufacturing expertise to turn a design into finely crafted timber joinery.
Award-winning timber craftsmanship
Cedarlite's craftsmanship was recognised at the 2026 Master Joiners Excellence Awards, with wins for Best Door or Window and Best Creative Use of Timber. We also won in 2023 for Best Auckland Joinery Company. These awards recognise the specialist skills behind our custom timber joinery and our ability to create work that combines craftsmanship, technical expertise and creative use of timber.
Bring us the plans – or the challenge
Talk to Cedarlite as early as you can in your project. Whether you need a complete architectural joinery package, you're recreating important heritage details or you have something completely custom in mind, we'd be pleased to discuss what you want to create and how we can help make it happen.
Create doors of virtually any size, style or configuration, from statement pivot entrances and expansive bifold or sliding doors to custom interior and barn doors. We manufacture for architectural, contemporary and heritage projects, with the timber, glazing and hardware considered together from the outset.
Upgrade suitable existing timber windows and doors with the Thermawood retrofit double-glazing system while retaining as much serviceable original joinery as practical. As specialist timber joiners, we can also undertake agreed localised timber work or manufacture replacement joinery where the existing windows or doors are no longer suitable for retrofit.
Our five-axis CNC technology allows us to manufacture complex shapes, compound angles and components requiring repeatable accuracy. We provide specialist machining for builders, architects, joiners and manufacturers, including prototypes, one-off pieces, heritage profiles and repeat production runs.

Why Choose Cedarlite Industries?
Master Craftsmanship
Nearly 40 years of specialist timber joinery experience goes into every project, from intricate heritage work to complex architectural designs.
Custom capability
Oversized, curved, unusual or completely original – our experienced team has the skills and technology to take on demanding timber joinery.
Villa, bungalow and heritage building specialists
Working successfully with heritage joinery requires an understanding of the details that give an older building its identity. Cedarlite has extensive experience manufacturing timber windows and doors for villas, bungalows, heritage homes and older commercial buildings, including projects where new joinery must faithfully reproduce what was there before.
Our joiners can recreate original profiles, mouldings, panels, rails, glazing bars and other decorative details, whether we're replacing a single piece of joinery or manufacturing for a larger restoration project. Modern glazing, seals and hardware can also be incorporated where appropriate without losing sight of the proportions and detailing of the original design.
Where existing timber windows and doors remain suitable, Thermawood retrofit double glazing provides another option for retaining original joinery while improving glazing performance. Where replacement is required, we have the craftsmanship and manufacturing capability to recreate the joinery for the building rather than replacing it with something that looks out of place.
Sustainability - Quality timber responsibly sourced
Timber has qualities that make it particularly suited to custom architectural joinery. It can be machined and crafted into intricate traditional details or clean contemporary designs, accommodates an enormous range of shapes and sizes and provides natural insulating properties.
We work with quality timbers selected to suit the design and performance requirements of each project, including Accoya for applications where its stability and durability are particularly valuable. The timber we source is PEFC or FSC certified, providing assurance that it comes from responsibly managed forests. For Cedarlite, sustainability also means creating quality timber joinery designed for long-term performance – and, where practical, retaining and upgrading existing timber joinery rather than replacing it unnecessarily.
