OSB versatility highlighted in new Florida exhibition

Allan Gould's Cattelan sculpture

The versatility of OSB has been highlighted by the launch of a new art exhibition in Florida. The UWF Emerald Coast Library in Fort Walton Beach is hosting a new exhibition featuring more than 30 paintings by local artist, Allan Gold. Mr Gold, who is the University of West Florida's military services coordinator, paints as a hobby and has become well known for his works, mostly in acrylic on OSB.

Norbord is the world's leading producer of oriented strand board. The company's range ofSterlingOSBproducts is ideal for use in a wide variety of construction projects, as well as for artists or those simply redecorating their own homes.

For example, Norbord'sSterlingOSBBuildboard premium panelling is sealed and finished with a smooth coating, specifically designed so it is ready for painting straight after fixing. Furthermore, theSterlingOSBSitecoat product has improved durability for usage as hoarding, also enabling companies to apply their logos and other marketing information onto the boards.

Mr Gold uses wood-based panels as his canvas as it gives his art a more rustic and natural look. This compliments the scenes he often paints, which include sunsets and coastal scenes, using lots of bright colours.

Of course, OSB's main use is as panelling in the design and construction industries. As well as the aforementioned products that are primed and ready for painting, Norbord's Sterling Roofdek is a sanded tongued and grooved board designed specifically for flat roof decking.

What's more, the strength and value of Norbord'sSterlingOSBhas made it one of the world's most popular choices for interior panelling, even in humid and load bearing conditions.
