Factory primed in either a neutral white or grey, SterlingOSB Zero PrimedPlus is a new development from timber panel specialist West Fraser: offering the market a versatile OSB3 board ideally suited to fitting out shops, hotels and leisure facilities while also being suitable for external use.
SterlingOSB Zero PrimedPlus, being exceptionally smooth due to the added putty finish, is supplied ready for use in a very wide range of applications, saving time and cost of ordering multiple board products for a fit-out contract. For example, the versatile board can be used for everything from shelving to counter-tops; display areas to cloakroom dividers; lockers, seating and information boards and more. Then aside from its pristine appearance, the smoothness means expensive garments or fine materials will not get snagged when being displayed or removed to show a customer.
Although SterlingOSB Zero PrimedPlus can accept a variety of paint finishes, the high quality surface is also ideal for taking graphics including a retail outlet’s signage, as well as the logo for a gymnasium or play centre; plus advertising and other promotional material.
Alternatively, SterlingOSB Zero PrimedPlus can simply be stained for the popular industrial look currently favoured by architects and interior designers; while being knot and void free due to the precise production process, means there are no places for water to get in, making the panels highly durable.
Measuring 1220 mm wide by 2440mm long and, at 18mm thick, the boards are supplied in packs of 50 to cover a total area of approximately 150 m2. To further improve performance, West Fraser has treated the edges of the board with a water repellent sealant, while the putty used in the manufacturing process is UV resistant too.
David Connacher, Marketing Manager for West Fraser, commented on the boards’ versatility and physical benefits saying:
“PrimedPlus offers a ready-made solution to many challenges faced by specifiers and fit-out specialists and it is the first UK-manufactured OSB with zero-added formaldehyde. It therefore reduces health risks as breathing in such fumes can cause eye, nose and throat irritation.”
For the increasingly sustainability-conscious specifier, SterlingOSB PrimedPlus is CE marked and complies with the Forestry Stewardship Council (FSC) and BBA Agrement requirements. In addition, it is manufactured in the UK using guaranteed renewable energy to deliver an ultra-low carbon footprint.
