The best panel for the project? West Fraser’s new guide for builders has all the answers

  • 21 Nov 2023

For builders today, there is a plethora of different engineered wood panels to choose from when looking at a new project. West Fraser UK, which operates two factories in the UK, has produced a guide which makes the selection process simple and speedy – https://uk.westfraser.com/housebuilders.

With imports from Eastern Europe, China and South America muddying the water somewhat, the builder can be sure that West Fraser’s products carry the necessary standards and quality marks for the UK and so comply with UK building specifications. In addition, the transport and environmental costs are minimised.  

The product portfolios comprise SterlingOSB Zero OSB3SterlingOSB Zero T&GCaberFloor P5CaberDekCaberShieldPlusCaberMDF and the newest addition to the range, SterlingOSB Zero PrimedPlus, and all are net carbon negative while the SterlingOSB Zero range contains no formaldehyde.
