Juken New Zealand (JNL) manufactures a range of Premium Wood Solutions and a Christchurch family business, NZ4U2U are using three of them to build Portable Tiny Homes for rent and purchase. These portable tiny homes come in single or two-bedroom configurations and can be built to operate off grid. They are constructed locally to a high standard using quality materials which have been carefully selected for durability and attractiveness. As well as being modern, warm and comfortable they come in a contemporary look which gives them an attractive aesthetic.

NZ4U2U are using Strandfloor® for the floors, J-Frame for the framing and Triboard as the internal linings. The Tiny Home concept is catching on in New Zealand, and with land and housing costs on the increase, these affordable options become more attractive. When space is at a premium and quality matters, JNL Premium Wood Solutions are at the forefront.

Strength and durability are critical in order to handle the rigours of the transport process, and with plenty of research, and the assistance of Lance Fitzmaurice, the JNL South Island Sales Representative, the team at NZ4U2U settled on the JNL premium wood products.

Strandfloor®
Strandfloor® is a high density reconstituted wood panel bonded with moisture resistant resin and wax, specifically formulated for use as residential and commercial interior floor platforms. Strandfloor® products comply with the sheet flooring requirements of the New Zealand Building Code. Distributed by Laminex.

J-Frame
J-FRAME is a general-purpose Structural Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL) gauged Framing timber manufactured from 100% renewable Radiata Pine, plantation forest. As a reliable straight and durable product, J-Frame can be used in a wide range of applications including residential and commercial framing and truss systems.

Triboard Wall Lining
Triboard is a 3-layered panel with a wood strand core sandwiched between an MDF outer “skin”. The result is a clean-lined panel that has high resilience and impact resistance and great stiffness where durability is paramount.

About the
Professional

Welcome to Juken New Zealand Ltd (“JNL”). We are a New Zealand (“NZ”) based and registered company with a growing global outreach. We have been heavily involved with the NZ forestry and wood-processing industries for the past 30 years – manufacturing advanced and innovative wood products from selectively planted, managed and harvested Radiata Pine for local and export markets. In that time we have become important economic and cultural contributors to the local communities within which we operate.

In an age where wood is becoming increasingly recognised and re-established as a product of choice for many structural and non-structural applications, we can offer you high quality, fit-for-purpose products to meet your needs.

We have sustainably managed and certified plantation forests in the East Coast and Wairarapa regions of NZ’s North Island. In Wairarapa we have one and in Kaitaia, we have two, efficient and environmentally clean wood processing mills. We employ nearly 460 people and obtain goods and services from several hundred suppliers.

Research and development are important to us, and we also benefit from the technology and resources of our Japan-based parent company WoodOne Ltd, a major international housing materials and componentry company, which has invested over $NZ700 million into our Company and NZ.

All of which means that in an age where wood is becoming increasingly recognised and re-established as a product of choice for many structural and non-structural applications we can offer you high quality, fit-for-purpose products to meet your needs.

 

WHAT WE DO
We make a wide range of engineered wood Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL), Panels and Solid Wood Products – for structural and non-structural purposes, for external or internal uses, and for appearance or non-appearance finishes.

All of it come from certified forestry we care for and harvest on a sustainable basis to ensure that you receive the very best products for your requirements. If we do not have the right trees we obtain them from other carefully selected sustainable sources. So we are closely involved and “hands-on” all the way through from the tree seed to the finished product. And in a way that is sensitive to the social needs and ecosystems within which we live, work and play.

Our forests are certified and managed according to internationally-recognised environmental standards – FSC®and ISO. They are immaculate. They provide the very best of raw materials to our wood processing mills which are also certified and managed according to international standards – including FSC®, ISO and EWPAA. Through innovative processes and skilled staff, our mills transform our harvested trees into high-quality products – products that are reliable and durable, that perform, and that can
be trusted.

Our range of products is wide and varied, but we are not limited to “off-the-shelf” solutions. If you cannot find what you are looking for in our current range then ask us about custom-made options to suit your exact needs. Such requests fit comfortably with our philosophy, and because we own the process from start to finish we will always try to meet your needs.

It is yet another reason why discerning customers who seek and demand the natural benefits of wood choose Juken New Zealand Ltd for top quality engineered and solid wood products.
