Triboard TGV is the solution for architects and builders who need wall and ceiling linings that perform under pressure and still deliver a clean finish. Manufactured by Juken New Zealand - JNL, the panel uses a three-layer construction — a resilient wood-strand core bonded between MDF outer skins. The result is strength and stability inside, with smooth surfaces ready to achieve a grade 5+ paint finish.

Key benefits include:

• Stronger and more stable than standard plasterboard
• Smooth faces that deliver a high-quality painted finish
• Versatile finishing options: paint, stain, or clear seal
• Performs well in homes, rentals, garages, schools, and commercial spaces
• Consistent density for easier cutting and handling on site
