Flowing Elegance with Porta Contours Riverine Profile
The Porta Contours Riverine Profile brings the organic beauty of flowing water to your interior spaces. With its distinctive curved design that mimics the gentle movement of a riverbank, this premium timber lining creates visual rhythm and depth on walls and ceilings.

Blacktown Building Supplies stocks the complete range of Riverine profiles in multiple timber species and lengths, ready to bring your design vision to life.
Precision-Milled Timber in Multiple Profiles
Our Riverine range offers two distinct profile types, each crafted to exacting standards from sustainably sourced timber. The profiles are designed to work together or stand alone, giving you flexibility in your design approach.
- Riverine Lining (78x21mm): The primary profile for creating striking feature walls and textured ceiling installations with pronounced flowing curves
- Riverine Curved Wall Bead (39x16mm): A smaller, more subtle profile perfect for decorative accents, trim details, or creating layered effects
- Premium Timber Options: Choose from American Oak for rich grain character, Tasmanian Oak for refined elegance, Pine Clear for natural versatility, or Primed Pine for painted finishes
- Multiple Lengths Available: Stocked in 0.9m, 1.2m, 1.8m, 2.4m, and 2.7m lengths to suit various room dimensions and minimize waste
- Consistent Dimensions: Precision-milled profiles ensure perfect alignment and seamless installations across your entire project

Frequently Asked Questions – Riverine Profile
What’s the difference between the Riverine Lining and the Curved Wall Bead?
The Riverine Lining (78×21 mm) is the larger profile designed for covering substantial wall and ceiling areas with prominent flowing curves. The Curved Wall Bead (39×16 mm) is a smaller, more delicate profile ideal for trim details, accent lines, or creating layered design effects alongside the main lining.
Which timber species should I choose for my Riverine profile?
Your choice depends on your finish preference. American Oak offers prominent grain and rich character for stained finishes. Tasmanian Oak provides subtle, refined grain for elegant natural looks. Pine Clear is versatile for both staining and painting. Primed Pine comes ready for immediate painting in any colour.
Can I install Riverine profiles on a ceiling?
Yes, Riverine profiles work beautifully on ceilings to create textured, sculptural surfaces. For ceiling installations, ensure adequate structural support—consider using LVL engineered timber or pine beams to create a solid fixing framework before mounting the profiles.
What lengths are available for the Riverine profiles?
We stock Riverine profiles in 0.9 m, 1.2 m, 1.8 m, 2.4 m, and 2.7 m lengths (availability varies by timber species). This range allows you to select lengths that minimise waste and reduce the number of joints needed for your room dimensions.
Are Riverine profiles suitable for wet areas like bathrooms?
Riverine profiles are designed for interior applications. They can be used in bathrooms with proper moisture-resistant finishes and ventilation, but should not be installed in direct wet zones (e.g., shower enclosures). Apply appropriate sealers and maintain adequate ventilation.
