peelable top layer. With an easy-to-peel film, the boards have a 60-day exposure limit. Other solutions take this protection one step further still, with a laminated protective layer thermally bonded on both sides of the board, offering enhanced durability, easy cleaning for a smoother site handover, slip resistance and extended exposure rating. What about structural flooring boards and sustainability? As a wood-based material, timber structural flooring boards can be an accredited sustainable choice. Specifiers looking to promote the circular economy should look to source boards with recycled content, such as industry waste wood and sawmill by-products. Look for boards which are 100% recyclable as this will further extend the life of the wood used. The ideal choice for housebuilders and specifiers wanting to do their part for the environment. The use of recycled wood has several key sustainability benefits. By closing the loop, it diverts waste wood away from landfill, reduces the demand for fresh resources and maintains the carbon storage within
the wood. At the end of its usable life, wood can also be used as a carbon neutral biomass fuel, in replacement of natural gas, effectively lowering the carbon footprint of the products produced further still. Sustainable sourcing is another key aspect to factor into the specification process. Ensuring wood-based materials are attained from a local and responsibly managed forest site where standards are more than in line with environmental requirements is best practice.
