Announcing the Apollo NZ and Carpentier Partnership: A Heart for Wood, Craftsmanship, and Innovation
We are thrilled to announce an exciting new partnership between Apollo NZ and Carpentier, a renowned wood specialist from Belgium. This collaboration marks a significant step forward in our commitment to offering premium, sustainable, and innovative wooden products to our valued clients in New Zealand.
A Legacy of Excellence in Wood
Carpentier has a rich heritage in the wood industry, dating back to 1958. The company was founded by Willy Carpentier, an entrepreneur who followed in his father’s footsteps, continuing the family tradition of manufacturing wooden clothes pegs and wash tubs. Over the decades, Carpentier has evolved into a leading player in the hardwood market, driven by a passion for wood and a dedication to quality and craftsmanship.
Today, the third generation of the Carpentier family, along with their professional team, is focused on developing innovative products that embody sustainability, ecology, and pure craftsmanship. Their motto, "A Heart for Wood," perfectly encapsulates their dedication to preserving the natural beauty and integrity of wood in every product they create.
A Leading Player in the Hardwood Market
Carpentier’s expertise in wood is unmatched, with the company selling over 20,000 m³ of European hardwood annually. Their products are delivered worldwide, reaching markets in the Benelux, Germany, France, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Poland, the Baltic States, Scandinavia, and beyond. One of Carpentier’s specialties is oak, but they are also known for their work with thermal ash and thermal coniferous wood (HOTwood), as well as a variety of other ecological wood types.
Innovation and Total Solutions
What sets Carpentier apart is their commitment to innovation and creating added value. They have an extensive and modern machine park that allows them to perform all operations in their own workshop. This includes sawing, drying, heat-treating, fine-sawing, planing, shelling, brushing, and CNC processing the wood. This comprehensive approach enables Carpentier to offer a wide range of finished products, including facade cladding, wall cladding, ceiling cladding, terraces, roof boarding, wooden shutters, slatted roofs, wooden outbuildings, and wooden garden gates and fences.
Wooden Louvre Roof Systems and More
Carpentier specializes in high-quality wooden louvre roof systems, both for indoor and outdoor use. These systems are not only visually stunning but also functional, providing excellent light control and ventilation. The wooden louvre roofs are crafted with precision, using the finest materials to ensure durability and longevity. This makes them an ideal choice for enhancing outdoor living spaces, adding a touch of elegance and sophistication.
Sustainability and Ecological Commitment
Sustainability is at the core of Carpentier’s operations. They are strongly committed to ecological practices, ensuring that their products are environmentally friendly and responsibly sourced. This partnership aligns perfectly with Apollo NZ’s values, as we strive to offer products that are not only beautiful and functional but also sustainable.

Wooden Room Divider
Transform Your Space with Carpentier’s Wooden Room Divider: Elegance Meets Functionality
Are you looking to create distinct areas within your home or office without the need for a permanent wall? Carpentier’s Wooden Room Divider is the perfect solution, offering a tasteful and functional way to partition spaces. Whether you're seeking privacy, managing light, or simply adding an element of design, this versatile divider made of high-quality wooden slats provides a dynamic and elegant option for any environment.
The Ideal Room Divider for Any Space
The wooden room divider by Carpentier is not just a piece of furniture; it’s an innovative way to enhance your living or working space. With its movable horizontal or vertical wooden slats, you can easily connect or separate spaces as needed. This flexibility is perfect for modern homes with open floor plans, where creating cozy, intimate areas can sometimes be challenging. Use this divider to elegantly separate a living room from an open kitchen, or a bathroom from a bedroom, maintaining both openness and privacy as required.
In larger spaces, such as offices or restaurants, the room divider can significantly enhance visual privacy and manage natural light. By adjusting the wooden slats, you can control the amount of light entering the space, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere while also providing privacy. This feature is particularly useful in the catering industry, where ambiance plays a crucial role in the customer experience.
Customizable Design to Fit Your Style
One of the standout features of Carpentier’s Wooden Room Divider is its customizability. Whether you prefer sleek rectangular slats or elegant elliptical slats, this divider can be tailored to match your specific taste and the overall aesthetic of your space. The slats can be mounted vertically or horizontally, although vertical slats are often chosen for their practicality—dust and dirt are less likely to accumulate compared to horizontal slats.
Made to measure, these dividers can be crafted to match the height of your room, with options available up to 3 meters in oak and up to 3.90 meters in thermal ash. This level of customization ensures that the divider not only fits perfectly within your space but also complements the existing décor. You can choose from high-quality materials like thermal ash or oak, and even have the slats finished in a color that blends seamlessly with your interior design.
Elegant and Minimalistic Design
Unique to Carpentier’s design is the minimalistic mechanism of the wooden slats. A sleek black aluminum profile is discreetly attached to the inside of the wooden frame, ensuring there are no visible screws. This attention to detail gives the room divider a clean and aesthetic appearance, making it a stunning addition to any room.
The wooden slats can be adjusted and locked manually, offering flexibility and ease of use. For those who prefer a more modern approach, an automatic operation option is available. This can be integrated into your home automation system, providing you with effortless control over the positioning of the slats, whether you're adjusting for privacy, light control, or simply changing the mood of the room.
High-Quality Materials and Craftsmanship
Carpentier’s Wooden Room Divider is crafted with precision and care. The frame slats are sturdy, measuring 32 mm x 130 mm, and are available in various designs and sizes to suit your needs. Options include:
Rectangular Slats: Available in different thicknesses and lengths, ranging from 20 mm x 120 mm (maximum height of 2200 mm) to 40 mm x 140 mm for XXL sizes (up to 3900 mm in height), perfect for creating a bold statement in any space.
Elliptical Slats: Measuring 30 mm x 130 mm, these slats offer a softer, more organic look, available in HOTwood ash.
It’s worth noting that in HOTwood ash, small knots or minor defects may occur, adding a unique, natural character to each piece. Similarly, oak slats may feature small knots or defects, adding to the authentic beauty of the wood.
Easy Assembly and Installation
Delivered as a kit, the Carpentier Wooden Room Divider is designed for easy assembly. While the slats are provided in standard lengths, they are not pre-cut to exact sizes, allowing for final adjustments to be made during installation. This ensures a perfect fit, whether you’re installing the divider in a home, office, or commercial space.

Burnt Wood Walls
Embracing Elegance with Burnt Wood Walls: A Guide to Carpentier's Black Wood Collection
In recent years, the timeless appeal of wood has been redefined with the rise of burnt wood wall panels, an ancient Japanese technique known as Shou Sugi Ban. Carpentier, a leader in innovative wood solutions, offers a stunning collection of wall panels in black wood, each crafted to highlight the unique textures and characteristics of various wood types. Whether you're aiming for a rustic country charm or a sleek industrial vibe, Carpentier's burnt wood wall panels provide an unparalleled aesthetic that transforms any space.
The Art of Shou Sugi Ban: Crafting Unique Textures and Colors
Shou Sugi Ban is more than just a finishing technique; it's an art form. Originating from Japan, this method involves burning a layer of carbon onto the wood, creating a striking blackened surface. At Carpentier, this process is meticulously controlled to achieve a range of finishes, from a subtle toasted look to an intense, deep black. The final appearance is influenced not only by the strength of the flame and brushing techniques but also by the type of wood used. For example, burnt Douglas wood and black oak planks each bring out different textures and grain patterns, adding depth and character to the wall panels.
Customization: Tailoring Your Black Wood Panels to Perfection
Carpentier understands that every space is unique, which is why they offer custom-made wall panels in black wood. This bespoke approach ensures that each panel perfectly complements your interior design, whether it's a cozy country home or a modern industrial loft. The ability to customize the charred effect allows for a personalized touch, making each installation truly one-of-a-kind. Furthermore, the invisible Grad® mounting system used by Carpentier ensures a clean, seamless finish, enhancing the overall aesthetic appeal.
Sustainability Meets Style: The Environmental Benefits of Burnt Wood
Beyond its stunning visual appeal, Shou Sugi Ban-treated wood offers practical benefits. The carbon layer created during the burning process acts as a natural fire retardant, while also making the wood more resistant to insects and fungi. This durability, combined with the fact that Carpentier sources only ecological wood from sustainably managed forests, makes burnt wood a sustainable choice for interior wall cladding. Choosing burnt wood not only elevates your interior design but also aligns with environmentally conscious values.
A Stunning Alternative: HOTwood Pine Ignite with a Burnt Look
For those who love the look of burnt wood but are seeking a more budget-friendly option, Carpentier offers the HOTwood Pine Ignite. This innovative product mimics the appearance of charred wood without the actual burning process. Instead, thermally modified softwood is stained black, brushed, and embossed to recreate the texture of Shou Sugi Ban-treated wood. The result is a visually striking panel that retains the sustainable qualities of thermal softwood while offering an easy-to-maintain alternative to traditional burnt wood.
The Ignite tongue and groove planchet is not only aesthetically pleasing but also practical. It requires minimal maintenance, with only a fresh coat of black water-based paint needed every 5 to 7 years to maintain its vibrant look. Suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, Ignite offers versatility along with its stunning appearance, making it a fantastic choice for various applications.
Transform Your Space with Carpentier's Burnt Wood Panels
Incorporating burnt wood panels into your interior design is a bold and sophisticated choice. Carpentier's collection of black wood, crafted using the traditional Shou Sugi Ban technique, offers a unique blend of aesthetics and sustainability. Whether you opt for the authentic charred wood or the cost-effective HOTwood Pine Ignite, these panels are sure to make a statement in any space. Explore the possibilities with Carpentier and bring the timeless elegance of burnt wood into your home.
