Let’s talk floors – what would we do without them?! But how annoying are they when they squeak or just make whatever noise they like? In all seriousness, we have all probably experienced the noise from flats above. So builders, let’s unite and aim for a squeak-free life with West Fraser!

Here’s a chart and videos to help you choose what product to use – https://uk.westfraser.com/resources/help-advice/installation-instructions/.

CaberFloor P5 is the UK’s most specified moisture-resistant P5 flooring; the super-strong particleboard is perfect for domestic and most other floors, eliminating the need for intermediate noggins. The 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 – especially if the weather is a consideration if the roof will not be on! CaberShield Eco excels in such scenarios, allowing construction to proceed in all weather conditions. CaberShield Eco has a tough, permanent, solvent-free, UV waterproof coating to the surface layer and is BBA approved for 60 days exposure; and provides a non-slip, safe platform that can endure high site traffic.

Another option is CaberDek, which is BBA approved for 60 days exposure when paired with CaberFix – read the guidelines too. 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.
