TRIBOARD ™

Triboard is unique and consists of an inner core of wood strands sandwiched between surface layers of MDF (Medium Density Fibre). For most of our products the MDF fibre surface layers are typically 2mm to 3mm thick. For example a 24mm thick Triboard panel would have a 20mm strand core with two 2mm thick surfaces of fibre. Triboard can be manufactured with the MDF fibre surfaces up to 10mm in thickness.

In reality, Triboard can be tailored to customer's requirements. The strand core and fibre surfaces can each be configured according to thickness, density, resin type and resin loading to meet specific end use requirements. Triboard is pressed in one integrated pressing process and can be made in a variety of thickness' ranging from 10mm up to 100mm.

Panel Construction Applications

The combination of a hard fibre surface and dimensionally stable strand core results in a unique engineered wood product, which has diverse end uses. Triboard is used for panel construction for housing and apartment buildings with up to 90 minute fire rated inter-tenancy walls. All walls, interior and perimeter, ceilings, flooring and doors, are made from the product. Panels used range in thickness from 32mm to 45mm. This proven up market construction methodology has many advantages over conventional construction methods. Triboard, with its outstanding screw holding and stability of the strand core together with the paintable smooth fibre surface is particularly suited to this application.

Termicide Treated Triboard (TTT) is now available in a range of thicknesses. Please refer to JNL for additional details.
