Key Features
- Stronger than most softwood plywood, thanks to the tens of thousands of real wood strands that go into every board.
- Cut waste with precision engineered panels. Each pack contains uniform, high quality panels, with no knots, voids or delamination problems.
- Don’t let the weather hold you up. Construction can go on with structural panels that perform even when it gets a bit wet.
- Tough enough to meet most load-bearing applications in house building and construction; Sterling OSB is BBA Approved and conforms to Eurocodes.
- Make the job easier with a panel that’s simple to saw, drill, nail, plane, file or sand. Nails can be driven as close as 8mm from the panel edge without splitting.
- Work with a sustainable building product that’s FSC certified and made from timber grown in the UK. It’s manufactured here too, meaning fewer carbon miles clocked up in transportation.
Applications
Sterling OSB3 is suitable for:
- Timber frame housing.
- Flat and pitched roofs.
- Wall sheathing.
- Flooring.
- Portable buildings.
- Caravans.
- Agricultural buildings.
