West Fraser’s home-grown panels, SterlingOSB Zero<\/a> and CaberMDF,<\/a> are made from responsibly managed forests, as part of the company’s commitment to making better products for a sustainable future<\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/em>With the ongoing demand to provide more homes in the UK, coupled with the drive to use sustainable building materials, it is little surprise that the timber frame market is making use of SterlingOSB Zero<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Providing the construction industry with materials to achieve its environmental targets<\/h3>\n

As Steve Roebuck, West Fraser\u2019s European health & safety director explains: \u201cVirtually all housebuilding in Scotland has been timber framed for many years.\u00a0 The markets are now growing in England and Wales with timber frame construction being recognised for its thermal capacity and significant insulating properties.<\/p>\n

“At West Fraser, we are proud to provide the UK construction industry the materials it needs to achieve its environmental goals. \u00a0Wood comes from a sustainable source and is renewable.\u00a0 You\u2019re not digging something out of the ground to make bricks\u201d.<\/p>\n

The only zero added formaldehyde OSB manufactured in the UK<\/h3>\n

West Fraser\u2019s home-grown SterlingOSB Zero is unique in the market by being the only zero-added formaldehyde OSB manufactured in the UK.\u00a0 Produced from forest thinnings taken from sustainably managed forests<\/a>, the board is certified according to the guidelines of the FSC\u00ae (C012533) or PEFC\u00ae.<\/p>\n

What are the other environmental benefits to those using West Fraser panels?<\/h3>\n

West Fraser delivers a net carbon negative benefit<\/a> in all the products produced in the UK, locking up more CO2e in the products (and lifetime of use) than is emitted in the manufacture of them.\u00a0 That accounts for everything from forest to customer, including harvesting, production, sales and logistics.<\/p>\n
