Suitable for securing sites quickly, SterlingOSB Zero PrimedPlus West Fraser is a versatile OSB3 board that can also be used as a hoarding for marketing the development it guards or any other communication.
PrimedPlus has a very smooth surface because it has been coated in a UV and water resistant putty so rain simply runs off rather than pooling. The board is also free of knots and voids, so there is nowhere for water to penetrate and the board edges have also been treated for extra protection against weather damage.
The panel is available in white and grey and produced in 18mm thick, square-edged sheets measuring 1220mm wide by 2440mm long. The top face is primed with a high-quality cross-linked epoxy acylate UV cured coating to front, giving a smooth finish and the sides are sealed to reduce water ingress. The boards are supplied in packs of 50 to cover a total area of approximately 150m².
The ultra-smooth surface does not just shrug off rain but it also accepts high quality graphics, so the boards can be finished to fulfil any number of functions – camouflaging the site, for instance, or advertising the development behind.
The structure is free from knots or voids and, from an environmental perspective, the ‘Zero’ in the name assures specifiers that the product contains no added formaldehyde.
With a low carbon footprint owing to its manufacture in the UK using only renewable energy and sustainably sourced timber, SterlingOSB Zero PrimedPlus is CE-marked and complies with the complies with the Forestry Stewardship Council (FSC) and BBA Agrément requirements.
Right across its range, West Fraser has been making substantial investment in reducing the environmental impact of its production processes including signing new contracts with its energy suppliers to ensure that all its power comes from renewable sources that are covered by REGO (Renewable Energy of Guaranteed Origins) certification.
