Incorporating all the familiar benefits of CaberFloor P5 plus a super resilient protective surface, CaberShield Eco is the new and greenest answer for laying decks in challenging conditions.
As a manufacturer of panel products using responsibly sourced and certified timber, West Fraser has now published a useful fact sheet outlining the product’s highly sustainable credentials: underlining why CaberShield Eco represents the future for weather-decking.
As well as listing the major bullet-points, the A4 publication covers the most important technical aspects to the company’s highest performing flooring panel, using full colour images; while a standout strapline proclaims, “Keep building even with the roof off”. And if the reader is in any doubt about the board being truly weatherproof, West Fraser promises 60 days durability for CaberShield Eco whatever the weather.
The 100 per cent, recyclable panels feature a P5 specification with a solvent-free, single-sided UV-cured resin coating across the top surface. Then for added safety, the durable boards are also made slip-resistant, so are an ideal platform to specify when working at height – plus they will withstand heavy site traffic, including the stacking of concrete blocks.
As the concise publication informs us, the boards boast all the inherent practical benefits of CaberFloor P5 when it comes to cutting and fixing while, if installed according to the manufacturer’s instructions using CaberFix D4 adhesive, will carry the confidence of the 60-day BBA certificate.
CaberShield ECO sheets are 22mm thick and supplied in one standard size of 600 x 1200mm, with a TG4 edge profile. As the title on the leaflet states, they are “the greener choice for permanently protected flooring”. Plus, for the eventual building-user, their specification will help reduce Scope 3 emissions in comparison to traditional flooring.
All West Fraser panel products produced in the UK are net carbon negative and manufactured in mills that have obtained the coveted environmental ISO 14001 accreditation. Responsibly sourced, the panels are FSC certified and created from locally grown timber, cutting the embodied carbon associated with transportation.
