Sustainable Kiwi-Made Timber Minimises Environmental Impact

When it comes to health, reliability and sustainability it really matters what homes are built with. JNL is proud to own four operational mills in the North Island — two in Kaitaia and one in both Gisborne and Masterton. They also own two forest estates in Gisborne and Masterton, ensuring that only the best quality logs are manufactured into premium wood solutions for Kiwis to use.

So what makes a true Kiwi home? For JNL, it is building homes that don’t use endangered hardwood from third-world countries, where health, safety and sustainability standards cannot always be verified. It is using wood from sources that recognise the importance of sound environmental, social and economic practices. And it is creating premium products that builders can stake their livelihood on and that homeowners can trust and thrive in.

JNL believes that success is measured by a genuine commitment to manufacturing in a way that nurtures and gives back to New Zealand’s natural resources and environment.

Not only is JNL ahead of the curve by replacing non-sustainable hardwoods with responsibly grown radiata pine, but they also reduce their environmental impact through the premise of 'Reuse and Recycle' in every possible area.

JNL also works closely with local communities on several levels, and recycling is always at the forefront. Natural forest areas are protected, chemical containers are recycled, and where ever possible mill energy requirements are met using renewable, sustainable wood residues.

JNL offers some of New Zealand’s most progressive and forward-thinking industrial design practices.

JNL has set a benchmark of being assessed against the highest external standards, such as the regulatory consents environmental framework (local authority or central government), and internationally recognised environmental standards of Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) C014204, ISO 14001 Environmental Management and ISO 9001 Quality Management. This demonstrates an ongoing commitment and ethical practice when it comes to forestry and manufacturing best practice.

Triboard — TGV Lining

Juken New Zealand

View Product

Triboard TGV is a durable lining for walls and ceilings.

FSC Certified

Common sheet sizes: 2400 x 400 x 15mm / 3740 x 400 x 15mm
Suitable for home renovations, sheds, beach houses, garages, and workshops — where high impact resistance is required
Paint-ready. MDF surfaces offer a grade 5+ paint finish capability
Easy to install. The panels are light enough for a one man installation

Tongue and Groove joint:

Each TGV panel is 400mm wide and it may be that the stud centres are not at 400 or, if lining a Portal or Pole shed, it’s likely that there will be no studs at all. Having a Tongue and Groove joint between the Triboard panels means that it doesn’t matter what centres the studs are because no framing is needed behind the join.
Or, in the case of having girts only in a portal building, you don’t need to install vertical nogs to support the edge of the sheet as you would for other lining products.

Triboard TGV as Wall Bracing:

Owing to the narrow (400mm) width of a TGV panel, it is generally not suited to installation as bracing as the fixings required to the bottom plate are prohibitive
Should Wall Bracing be required, full size Triboard sheets are available in 10mm and 15mm. Bracing figures compliant with NZS3604 are available from Juken.

Fixing Triboard TGV Panels to the frame:

When lining Steel Portal Sheds:
- Self-Tapping 8g screws suitable for light gauge steel with Drill or Winged points, fixed into the horizontal girts
- Girts should be at no more than 1.0m spacing vertically
- The screws are recommended at approximately 180mm centres in each panel. (3 per panel per girt)
When lining a Timber Portal or Pole Farm Shed:
- Use 8g CSK wood screws 35-40mm long into the girts
- Install screws to the same fixing pattern as for steel (3 per panel per girt)
- The same fixing is appropriate into the horizontal nogs of conventionally framed timber walls

Panel adhesive is recommended for all fixing types:

As Triboard is not used as wall bracing, and therefore doesn’t perform a structural role, these fixing specifications are simply guidelines
For less visible fixing, good results can also be obtained using gun fired nails or brads in conjunction with panel adhesive.
