When Gordon Barron, CEO of Inverness Ice Centre Ltd, was looking for a temporary cover for the ice rink, he sought the advice of Inverness-based wood-panel manufacturer West Fraser (trading as Norbord), who recommended SterlingOSB Zero<\/h2>\n

The Board of Directors of the Ice Centre wanted a simple, easy-to-install covering for the ice to enable the space to be used to stage fundraising events when not in use for skating or ice sports.<\/p>\n

A simple, easy-to-install covering<\/h3>\n

Gordon Barron commented: \u201cWe wanted to cover a floor space of 1,176m\u00b2. West Fraser suggested we use SterlingOSB Zero<\/a> and was able to offer the boards at a subsidised price through our local branch of Buildbase in Inverness\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can now prepare for fundraising events by laying 800 panels of SterlingOSB Zero<\/a> and then covering the area in carpet, protecting the ice while giving us a useable surface. Now that we\u2019ve done it a few times, we are down to four hours, laying the floor by hand. We are looking to source the right lifting equipment to reduce the set-up time further.<\/p>\n

“We hired a small forklift, but that wasn\u2019t quite right, so we\u2019ll keep on looking.<\/p>\n

SterlingOSB Zero is cost-effective<\/h3>\n

\u201cWe are grateful to West Fraser and Buildbase for their patience and substantial support! The solution presented to us is light, so easy to lay, and the panels are cost-effective and readily available should the time come when we need to replace any of the boards\u201d.<\/p>\n
