Norbord's new SterlingOSB Fire Solutions range has recently been specified on a Mansell Homes development in Southampton by one of the country's leading independent timber frame specialists, Oregon Timber Frame Ltd. SterlingOSB Fire Solutions were utilised for fire mitigation (during construction) measures in a number of properties on the development; for both sheathing and floor decking. the range was launched earlier this year in response to new Structural Timber Association (STA) guidance for reducing fire spread in large timber frame buildings during the construction phase.
SterlingOSB is one of the most widely-used board products in today's construction projects and is the leading choice for many timber frame manufacturers. Its strength, durability and low cost makes it the ideal material for traditional timber frame panels and Structural Insulated Panels, while its 'green' credentials enhance modern low-energy building designs.
