Norbord lands major flooring contract for Freedom Homes

Norbord is supplying around 20,000 of its P5 Caberfloor tongue-and-groove flooring panels for installation in one of Scotland's biggest house-building schemes.

Freedom Homes, a joint venture between two leading Scottish developers, Ogilvie Homes and Stewart Milne Homes, will see a total of 559 new properties created across four individual sites in the Central belt. This order is for one of those sites, The High School in Stirling.

Located on the former site of the Stirling High School, which moved to new-build premises in 2008, this new development comprises a mix of contemporary two-bed apartments, four and five bed detached villas and four bed townhouses.

All the suspended timber floors in the development are constructed using Norbord's 22mm Caberfloor panels.

Stable, durable and easy to lay, Caberfloor P5 is a high-strength moisture resistant wood particleboard engineered for all domestic and most other floors.

In 18 and 22mm thicknesses, Caberfloor P5 is the UK's most widely-used particleboard flooring panel.

The boards are all supplied through Norbord distributor MGM Timber's Grangemouth branch.
 

"We have an order for 20,000 boards to be supplied between now and the end of the year" says, depot manager, Lee Kirkham. Deliveries are made on demand, rather than scheduled, which means MGM Timber needs to maintain a large stock of product.

"The High School contract is a significant order for us and we are hopeful of securing further business on the other Freedom Homes sites" commented Lee.
