Exterior Cladding forms a vital element to the outer layer or covering of a building’s structure.
It serves both functional and aesthetic purposes, protecting the building structure from the elements while enhancing its appearance. Tricoya’s guarantee of 50 years above ground, and 25 years below ground, Tricoya offers total peace of mind.
Tricoya MDF can be cut, coated, sanded, glued, machined, and fastened the same as any other high performing wood fibreboard – allowing users all the freedom associated with MDF.
Apart from creating exceptional dimensional stability, its manufacturing process enables Tricoya to achieve Class 1 durability, leading to resistance to biological decay, which exceeds spotted gum and western red cedar in Australian fungal decay testing.
Machining and Finishing
Tricoya wood may be cut, machined, and used in exactly the same way as other wood fibreboards with no change in machinability. Tricoya is delivered with a 120 grit sanded finish. It may be sanded with finer papers to achieve smoother surfaces. Water based paint systems may be used to decorate Tricoya.
Tricoya may be laminated with melamine papers, high pressure laminates, wood veneers, foils, and other materials.
