Hyne Timber bracing panels - embrace the right source
Hyne, one of Australia's largest structural timber producers,
is addressing the conscious deforestation of rainforests in Indonesia and
Malaysia by choosing to import structural timber bracing panels made from
sustainable, plantation-grown softwood timber stocks.
Hyne OS'Brace is a high quality, oriented strand board (OSB) product
manufactured by the Egger Group in Germany specifically for the Australian
construction industry.
Its impressive environmental credentials are only one of the factors that
differentiate it from others in the market, says Peter Hyne, General Manager
Wholesale.
"High moisture tolerance means that Hyne OS'Brace provides long-term
performance, excellent stability and consistent structural qualities from
one panel to the next," he said.
"Each three-layered, flat-pressed panel is made from micro-veneers bonded
with synthetic resin. When installed to correct guidelines it resists distortion,
splitting, delamination and buckling, and is suitable for use anywhere in
Australia, from the humid north to the cooler climes in the south."
Lightweight and simple to install, Hyne OS'Brace has a clean, fresh timber
appearance and doesn't suffer from any of the defects typically found in veneer
plywood such as holes, knots and splits.
"Hyne OS'Brace stands out as not just a top quality product for builders, but
as a choice to reduce further damage to the sensitive ecological environs of
South East Asia," Peter said.
"This is why Hyne is proud to be a major distributor of this new, innovative
and environmentally sustainable product."
Hyne OS'Brace is a low-emitting product fulfilling the most stringent European
E1 regulations, as well as all the performance requirements of the Building Code
of Australia.
