News_DPR.indd 1 Builder hails benefi ts of West Fraser panels
An experienced carpenter and builder has taken to social media to demonstrate the speed and effi ciency of installing West Fraser’s CaberDek, as well as the manufacturer’s SterlingOSB Zero. Steve Mayes commented: “The SterlingOSB Zero is being used to conform to the structural engineer’s requirements. Then to install the CaberDek across the joists, we are using the CaberFix glue and 50 mm ring shank nails to make sure there are no squeaks; the adhesive is applied to the tongue and groove joints as
well. We particularly like the ruggedness of the boards which means you don’t get any damage to the edges when you are pulling them up over the scaffolding, like you do with some makes, slowing things up.”

The alterations and refurbishment of the SCR, Dining Hall and Kitchen at Trinity College Oxford are nearing completion with 9 mm and 12 mm Magply boards from the range of IPP Ltd, having been specifi ed to provide the necessary fi re compartmentation, as well as other performance benefi ts. The work to fi t out the kitchen, bar, offi ces, fully accessible toilets and ancillary areas is being undertaken by Savvy Construction, from nearby Horspath, while Original Field of Architecture is the architectural practice responsible for the design work. This has included using two layers of the A1 rated, non-combustible Magply to clad either side of timber studwork in order to create a half hour separation and provide compartmentation for a single storey staff sitting room. Independently tested to demonstrate they offer A1 non-combustible performance, Magply boards are routinely specifi ed in place of OSB and plywood as a sheathing for steel framed high-rise properties, as well as in fl at and pitched roof construction. With an ultra-low 0.01% chloride content, the stability and durability of Magply sees it recommended as a backer board for proprietary render systems.
