Metrapanel Construction System

This innovative building system meets or exceeds all requirements of the NZ3604 building code.

The Metrapanel system consists of 36 mm solid panel sheets measuring up to 7.3 metres by 2.450 metres.· The system provides less jointing than conventional timber framed and plasterboard buildings.· Owners get the advantage of smooth, strong walls and less internal cracking.· No gib popping and greater impact resistance, therefore, they are more durable.· These homes are ideally suited to rental accommodation and holiday homes.

Timber Frame / Metrapanel Construction System

This construction system incorporates the dual benefits of the 36 mm solid wood Metrapanel wall panels and 25 mm sold wood Metrapanel ceiling sheets, with conventional timber frame internal walls, with 10·mm gibboard.

This combination system provides greater flexibility with the placement of interior insulation and electrical and plumbing reticulation.·

All our transportable homes are built on site within a controlled environment by experienced qualified builders.·

Although we have a wide range of standard plans, these often act as discussion starters to enable prospective clients to customise the final design to suit their specific requirements.

Laing Homes take pride in building homes for you and your family to enjoy.
