About

Durapanel's Structural Panel System replaces traditional framing and plasterboard with offsite manufactured wall & ceiling panels that dramatically enhance the speed of construction. The result is an exceptional finish and durability for the life of the home.

The system is BRANZ Appraised and meets the New Zealand Building Code (NZBC) to have a Durability performance requirement of not less than 50 years.

Compatible with all common roofing, cladding and interior finishing materials, Durapanel allows you to accomplish the desired outcome for your new build.

FAST & EFFICIENT.

Durapanel is a cost effective system that reduces on site labour and building materials.  Time savings of up to 40% can be experienced with new build projects.

EASY.

Durapanel replaces traditional framing and plasterboard with pre-cut and pre-primed triboard wall panels that are simple to install and do not require highly skilled labour on site.

PARALLEL TRADES.

Once solid triboard ceilings are installed, work can begin on the interior of the home while the exterior is finished. The ability for trades to work in parallel on a Durapanel house reduces the overall building timeframe.

DURABLE.

Solid, knock resistant panels reduce dents and damage that commonly occur on site. Further eliminating rework and saving time in the build process.

SPACE SAVING.

As compared with traditional building methods the Durapanel Wall System will increase the useable space available inside any building due to the thickness of the panels.

This will increase rental revenues and provide more available room within confined areas.

REDUCE CONSTRUCTION WASTE.

As the Durapanel Wall System is manufactured entirely off-site only material required for the works and within the building is necessary. No offcuts or excess wastage factors need to be applied. This reduces site waste and results in project cost savings.

Testimonials

I have built a few houses using Durapanel and cannot recommend them enough. My own house that i built was using Durapanel and I am very happy with the results. Durapanel houses are very easy and quick to erect making them very cost effective. The walls and ceilings make for a well insulated, air tight home that everyone is trying to achieve with modern homes. Durapanel were excellent to deal with, supplying all fixings, plans and back up if and when needed. Even down to internal doors, jambs and wardrobe fit outs.

I’ve built conventional, I’ve built with block. I see this way as superior, it’s a quick efficient way of building. I’m more than happy to keep building them – I’d say Durapanel is the way to go.

The reason we like Durapanel so much is that every panel is bracing, including the ceiling panels. We get a level 5 finish on the painting. It’s also super-fast. We’re probably finishing a house in 1-2 months faster than with a conventional build.
