The eyes of the specifier and builder have to be wide open for the bestproductsforaproject; cutting corners and selecting poor replacementsdoes not work in the long run. Performance, safety andthe environment remainsome of the toughest, and most important, considerations.

Choosing panel products that satisfy building standards, have sound environmental credentials and are quick and easy to use when battling theelements in the UK,is one tough task too;andWest Fraser's SterlingOSB Zero range makes the job a whole lot easier.

Theportfolio comprises of SterlingOSB Zero OSB3 and SterlingOSB Zero Tongue and Groove;bothare variants of the precision-engineered OSB3 board; BBA-approved, the board contains zero added formaldehyde and is produced in Scotland from forest thinnings taken from sustainably-managed forests. It is also certified according to the guidelines of the FSC®(C012533)and is CE-certified.

Where can you use OSB - examples?

Among its multiple uses,SterlingOSB Zerois ideal for timber frame construction. The boards are designed to speed up the build process and are available in a wide range of thicknesses and sheet sizes.For structural use in dry or humid load bearing situations, SterlingOSB Zero OSB3 is the board of choice.Flooring and roofing applications are served by SterlingOSB Zero OSB3 and SterlingOSB Zero Tongue & Groove.

West Fraser delivers a net carbon benefit in all our products produced in the UK, locking up more CO2e in the products (and lifetime of use) than is emitted in the manufacture of them. That accounts for everything from forest to customer, including harvesting, production, sales and logistics.
