About Big River Panels

Big River Panels (Formerly Decortech) have been Market Leaders in decorative, acoustic and Fire Retardant wall and ceiling linings since 2002. Big River Panels offers a complete program of decorative, acoustic and fire resistant panels, combined with standard or fully customised perforations to suit your design requirements. 

Our years of experience means we have in place a stringent process to minimise errors in the manufacturing and delays on site. Shop drawings for every panel are included in our service to ensure that the panels are made right, first time. This process has been invaluable to our installers as potentially costly mistakes are picked up on paper and fixed before they become problems during construction.

When working with Real Timber Veneer, we work closely with architects to ensure the best outcome. We have in place a control sample archive for completed projects to help minimise veneer inconsistencies should extra panels be required at a later date. Big River Panels will also work closely with suppliers of other veneered items to ensure a better project consistency.

All standard Big River panels have been tested for Acoustic performance by Marshall Day Acoustics making it easy to specify panels to achieve required NRC and open area values.

The Paintline is used to pre-finish most of our panels. The Paintline allows us to provide a high quality finish with a computer controlled application giving a perfect, run free appearance every time. Our specially developed UV cured paint or clear finishes are hard wearing, scratch resistant and ensure a dust free final product. Panels come off the line dry allowing us to keep lead times to a minimum. Pre-finished Décortech panels mean a controllable and pre-determined panel appearance and finish quality.

At Big River Panels we have years of experience behind us and have been part of some of New Zealand’s most prestigious projects We have delivered many high end commercial projects building a reputation for quality. In 2010 we completed Wellington Airport, one of our most demanding projects. There were over 500 shop drawings created to achieve the complex and unique angled triangular panels. The results are outstanding and well worth the effort.
