West Fraser’s CaberShieldPlus flooring is a durable, P5 flooring with a permanent, waterproof coating on both sides. Almost exclusively preferred now to P4 boards, the P5 particleboard panels can withstand the unpredictable British climate without deterioration
If installed using CaberFix D4 adhesive, CaberSheildPlus flooring has BBA approval for 60 days of exposure to the weather. For safety, the upper face is non-slip and colour-coded to distinguish this: making them an ideal choice for flooring – especially when working at height or where they will remain open to the rain until the roof is complete.
The lower face, meanwhile, is smooth in finish to ease the panels into place on site.
The tongue and groove profile (TG4) product is available as 18 and 22mm thick sheets, measuring 2400 x 600mm, making it easy to install and provides excellent load-carrying capacity without needing noggins.
CaberShieldPlus flooring is suitable for schools, hospitals and commercial applications
Approved as a BIM object for architects by RIBA, CaberShieldPlus is considered ideal as a sustainable solution for flooring, as all the timber used in West Fraser’s UK-manufactured particleboard production is from responsibly managed forests and carries the coveted FSC® (C012533) certification, along with the rest of the range.
Increasingly, environmental issues are coming to the fore for builders, specifiers and architects: and West Fraser is committed to playing its part in reducing their emissions with its UK-manufactured net carbon negative.
This means the company locks up more CO2e in its products (and the lifetime of use) than it emits during its manufacture. This has been independently audited by Wood – from the forest to the customer, including harvesting, production, sales and logistics – and certified by the international EPD system Secretariat in Sweden.
