Floors can pose challenges for people at times! One of a building’s critical components, flooring, can be tricky. West Fraser’s CaberFloor range is designed to tackle all challenges effectively. Trusted by leading housebuilders and specifiers nationwide, CaberFloor products deliver high-quality flooring finishes, preventing issues and saving costs down the line.
For assistance in selecting the right flooring system for your project, West Fraser offers a helpful flowchart, along with detailed installation guides and videos for each CaberFloor product, at https://uk.westfraser.com/resources/help-advice/installation-instructions/.
CaberFloor P5 stands out as the UK’s most specified moisture-resistant P5 flooring. Its high-strength particleboard is perfect for domestic and most other floors, eliminating the need for intermediate noggins. These boards are moisture-resistant, stable, durable, easy to install, and feature a tongue and groove or square-edge profile, ensuring an excellent surface for subsequent floor laying.
Some projects demand more advanced solutions. Regardless of your project’s size or shape, there are crucial considerations to address. Firstly, assess whether the building’s roof will be installed during construction. If not, a floor that withstands the elements is essential. CaberShieldPlus excels in such scenarios, allowing construction to proceed in all weather conditions—ideal for the UK climate.
CaberShieldPlus offers all the benefits of CaberFloor P5 with additional features like a tough, permanent waterproof coating on both sides. It’s BBA approved for 60 days exposure when installed as per the manufacturer’s instructions, providing a non-slip, safe platform that can endure high site traffic.
Another option is CaberDek , which is BBA approved for 42 days exposure when paired with CaberFix according to our guidelines. This P5 grade flooring offers protection against weather and construction debris, leaving behind a clean, finished floor after removal. Its film is impact, puncture, and tear-resistant, making it suitable for high traffic areas.
Lastly, sustainability is paramount today. West Fraser’s manufacturing processes ensure our products are environmentally responsible. Its range of board products come in various sizes to minimise waste, sourced from responsibly managed forests with FSC certification. Manufactured in the UK from locally grown timber, the panels are net carbon negative, and West Fraser’s UK mills hold ISO 14001 environmental accreditation.
