Timber structure building, as dictated by Norbord's methodology

Norbord, a leading manufacturer of engineered wood-based panel products, offers a wide range of solutions for timber frame construction. Their products, available on their website www.norbord.co.uk, cater to various needs, from high-strength flooring to fire-resistant boards.

One of Norbord's flagship products is SterlingOSB Zero. This innovative building material is the first OSB product made in the UK with zero added formaldehyde, making it a safer and more eco-friendly choice for home construction. SterlingOSB Zero is not only stronger and tougher than ply, with no knots, voids, or de-lamination, but it is also designed to reduce fire spread in large timber frame buildings. For flat roof decking and flooring applications, SterlingOSB Zero Tongue & Groove is the go-to solution.

In addition to SterlingOSB Zero, Norbord also offers SterlingOSB Zero StrongFix, precision engineered with a custom groove for metal C-studs at 600mm centres. This makes it an ideal choice for drywall structures.

For those seeking quality finishing and architectural details, CaberWood MDF is an ideal solution. Engineered with consistent density, CaberWood MDF boards are suitable for multiple uses, including mouldings. Unlike hardwood, CaberWood MDF is designed as an economical alternative, without inherent defects of knots or grains.

Norbord's products are not only strong and versatile but also require minimal finishing, speeding up construction. The CaberFloor system, for instance, provides advanced, high-strength flooring.

Norbord's commitment to quality extends beyond their products. They offer a selection of tools, including a fully-interactive guide to all Norbord products and a checklist, which can be downloaded from the housebuilder page on their website. Support on a product and technical basis is provided through dedicated product support and technical advice teams.

Moreover, Norbord's high quality boards are available in a wide range of grades, ensuring that they can meet the exacting needs of timber frame construction. Their products offer value for money and have good environmental credentials.
