Swiftliner Prefinished Wall Linings
Description

Compac Panels SwiftLiner is a pre-finished interior wall lining system manufactured in Dargaville, New Zealand. Designed to streamline internal fit-outs, SwiftLiner serves as a direct, decorative replacement for traditional plasterboard on timber or steel-framed walls, eliminating the need for stopping, sanding, and site painting.

The panels feature an E0 rated, FSC-certified MDF substrate overlaid with a durable melamine-impregnated Continuous Pressure Laminate (CPL) finish, with the edges sealed using impact-resistant edge tape. Engineered with a tongue-and-groove joint profile, SwiftLiner supports hidden fixing methods to achieve clean, uninterrupted interior wall surfaces.

Available panel dimensions and configurations include:

  • Lengths: Available in 2400mm and 2700mm heights to suit standard floor-to-ceiling stud dimensions.
  • Substrate: E0 formaldehyde emission-rated MDF core.
  • Colour Palette: Designer options including White Elm, Coastal Elm, Mid Elm, Dark Elm, Aurora Oak, Northern Oak, Sinatra Oak, Valentina Teak, and Black White.
Key Features
  • Accelerated On-Site Installation: Pre-finished surface replaces traditional plasterboard installation, stopping, and painting steps, reducing construction timelines and site trade overlap.
  • Concealed Fixing System: Tongue-and-groove edge profile enables hidden mechanical and adhesive fixing methods for a clean aesthetic.
  • Impact-Resistant Edging: Factory-sealed panel edges using impact-resistant tape protect joinery edges from daily wear during and after installation.
  • Single-Person Handling: Designed for systematic installation starting from one corner of a room, allowing single-trade handling.
  • Durable CPL Surface: Continuous Pressure Laminate (CPL) facing delivers a hard-wearing, cleanable interior finish for everyday commercial and residential use.
