Triboard is a 3-layered panel with a wood strand core sandwiched between an MDF outer “skins”.

The result is a clean-lined panel that has high resilience and impact resistance and greater stiffness than other similar products. The dimensionally stable core provides superb load bearing and screw holding, and the MDF surfaces give a smooth finish for painting or overlaying. Another product innovation is an engineered panel that will offer an alternative to plasterboard – Triboard TGV.

“This product is specifically designed for the lining of high-impact areas such as garages and rumpus rooms. These areas are commonly lined with plasterboard products. Holes in the plasterboard are often caused by car doors being opened onto the wall lining or kids’ bikes scrapping down the wall.”

Triboard TGV – tongue and groove panels, have been developed specifically for high impact resistance. Because of the panels inherent strength and size – available in 400mm sheets – they can be joined off frame and bear weight. “There’s nothing better than having positive fixing in the garage or rumpus room. To be able to fix a shelf or the dryer directly onto the walls without fixing to studs is hugely beneficial. Their manageable size, means the sheets can be installed easily by one person, reducing construction time and cost.
