Abstract:

Norbord (West Fraser) TruFlor pointSix and Durastrand pointSIX SIF oriented strand board (OSB) is made with strands of various species and strand classifications in accordance with the in-plant manufacturing standard approved by APA and meets the performance requirements for APA Rated Sturd-I-Floor. The pointSIX SIF panel contains a patented tapered-edge on all panel edges, as shown in Figure 1, to minimize edge flare or ridging, which may occur if the panel gets wet during construction. The pointSIX SIF tapered edge is approximately 1 mm (0.04 inch) deep and 10 mm (0.4 inch) wide. Products may be treated with Borogard® ZB (registered trademark of U.S. Borax; an EPA registered zinc borate preservative), as recognized in APA Product Report PR-N213. The efficacy of the preservative treatment is outside the scope of this report and the APA certification program. The pointSIX SIF panels are edge sealed and available in thicknesses from 19/32 to 1-1/8 inches.
