New Triboard Fit-Out Can Handle the Knocks

Kaitaia Stihl Shop owners Carol and Johno have renovated the old Toll Transport workshop, transforming it into their new premises. Rob and Andrew Bennie from Kiwi Carpentry and their super charged team were tasked with the upgrade, and the obvious choice to line the new premises was Triboard.

Carol and Johno have used Triboard and Kiwi Carpentry in the past, so they knew a quality durable wall lining was required to handle their new Stihl shop kit out.

In the workshop and showroom areas, which are more prone to knocks, the super strong density of 15mm thick Triboard was used as it can take the hard knocks. 10mm thick Triboard was used in the office areas, and 36m thick was used for benchtops and office desks.

As you can see from the images, the showroom has some very solid wall mounts and shelving. Triboard plays a key role here as you don’t need to find a stud; with Triboard’s core strength you can screw in anywhere. Triboard panels on the workshop walls have been clear coated to provide warm natural tones.

Triboard comes packed with benefits for shop fit-outs:

Sheet length and thickness options
Triboard outer skin is as tough as nails
5+ paint-ready finish
Excellent screw-holding ability
Stairway construction
Over 30 years of experience in the building and construction industry

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.
