How do you build smarter, easier and faster in 2020? Triboard may be the answer. 
Home-grown New Zealand innovation - The Triboard panel construction system by JNL is available to Kiwi homeowners nationwide.

The key to panel construction is precision, and the strength and durability of Triboard as a material makes it perfect for CNC milling with laser-like accuracy. Walls, doors, sockets, wiring channels are all pre-cut for an entire house in a matter of hours.

 From the sunny Far North of New Zealand, the JNL Triboard factory in Kaitaia turns Northland pine into premium building panels. Semi-finished 36mm Triboard panels are transported just a few kms up the road to Durapanel, who oversees the computer-controlled CNC milling. Here, walls and ceilings are completed panel by panel and prepared for transport to building sites all over New Zealand for fast, efficient installation. 

From the Far North to the Deep South, Triboard travels easily without concern for weather damage or handling problems. One of those distant destinations is Modbox, a Central Otago and Southland based building company specialising in Modular and Tiny Homes.

Fully BRANZ appraised, Triboard is a wall construction system developed around improved quality, speed and efficiency in building. Walls are solid, with excellent insulation and acoustic properties. No requirement for internal wall-framing means that a Triboard house can provide up to 6% more useable space in an average-sized three-bedroom build!

So when Modbox saw the need for a quicker, more sustainable way to build than traditional framing, it was Triboard JNL and Durapanel that delivered on the quality, supply and price that is key to what MODBOX was trying to achieve.

MODBOX homes need to stand up to the brutal sun of a drought as well as the harsh ice and snow of a southern winter, yet still, stylishly enhance the owner's lifestyle in one of the most stunning environments in the world. A fantastic example of making the best out of what you've got in your back yard!

Triboard is harvested from a certified sustainable managed forest estate in the Far North of New Zealand. Triboard is a premium panel offering for those who want to build smarter, faster and stronger - now and in the future.

About the
Professional

Welcome to Juken New Zealand Ltd (“JNL”). We are a New Zealand (“NZ”) based and registered company with a growing global outreach. We have been heavily involved with the NZ forestry and wood-processing industries for the past 30 years – manufacturing advanced and innovative wood products from selectively planted, managed and harvested Radiata Pine for local and export markets. In that time we have become important economic and cultural contributors to the local communities within which we operate.

In an age where wood is becoming increasingly recognised and re-established as a product of choice for many structural and non-structural applications, we can offer you high quality, fit-for-purpose products to meet your needs.

We have sustainably managed and certified plantation forests in the East Coast and Wairarapa regions of NZ’s North Island. In Wairarapa we have one and in Kaitaia, we have two, efficient and environmentally clean wood processing mills. We employ nearly 460 people and obtain goods and services from several hundred suppliers.

Research and development are important to us, and we also benefit from the technology and resources of our Japan-based parent company WoodOne Ltd, a major international housing materials and componentry company, which has invested over $NZ700 million into our Company and NZ.

All of which means that in an age where wood is becoming increasingly recognised and re-established as a product of choice for many structural and non-structural applications we can offer you high quality, fit-for-purpose products to meet your needs.

 

WHAT WE DO
We make a wide range of engineered wood Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL), Panels and Solid Wood Products – for structural and non-structural purposes, for external or internal uses, and for appearance or non-appearance finishes.

All of it come from certified forestry we care for and harvest on a sustainable basis to ensure that you receive the very best products for your requirements. If we do not have the right trees we obtain them from other carefully selected sustainable sources. So we are closely involved and “hands-on” all the way through from the tree seed to the finished product. And in a way that is sensitive to the social needs and ecosystems within which we live, work and play.

Our forests are certified and managed according to internationally-recognised environmental standards – FSC®and ISO. They are immaculate. They provide the very best of raw materials to our wood processing mills which are also certified and managed according to international standards – including FSC®, ISO and EWPAA. Through innovative processes and skilled staff, our mills transform our harvested trees into high-quality products – products that are reliable and durable, that perform, and that can
be trusted.

Our range of products is wide and varied, but we are not limited to “off-the-shelf” solutions. If you cannot find what you are looking for in our current range then ask us about custom-made options to suit your exact needs. Such requests fit comfortably with our philosophy, and because we own the process from start to finish we will always try to meet your needs.

It is yet another reason why discerning customers who seek and demand the natural benefits of wood choose Juken New Zealand Ltd for top quality engineered and solid wood products.

At ArchiPro we recognise and acknowledge the existing, original and ancient connection Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have to the lands and waterways across the Australian continent. We pay our respects to the elders past and present. We commit to working together to build a prosperous and inclusive Australia.
