Taylor Lane Timber Frame Finds Multiple Applications For SterlingOSB Zero
One of the UK’s biggest manufacturers of timber frame homes, with factories in England and Wales, is making full use of the performance and economic benefits to West Fraser’s SterlingOSB Zero boards, in different thicknesses for a range of applications. Taylor Lane Timber Frame was established in 1982 and has four factories across three locations in Hereford and in Nantyglo, near Brynmawr in Gwent, producing in excess of 1000 dwellings a year for housebuilders, developers and social housing providers.
The company has established a strong reputation for quality and reliability over the past 40 years and with fresh investment from new owner, the Cala Group, is anticipating further growth as it addresses such challenges as affordability and the environmental agenda. In fact, West Fraser values its long-standing partnership with the Cala Group, as Daniel Clarke, Senior Key Account Manager at West Fraser explained,
“As well as SterlingOSB Zero we also supply the Cala Group with CaberDek throughout their builds in England and Scotland.The specification of West Fraser products throughout the divisions of the Cala Group demonstrates the importance of the partnership to both organisations. In addition to wall panels, Taylor Lane also produces its own roof trusses and floor cassettes, the latter featuring metal web Posi-Joists fabricated at its Gatehouse Factory in Hereford. The SterlingOSB Zero is primarily used to take the racking loads sustained by both internal and external walls, while the material is also used for roof sarking and as the sub-deck to floor joists within multiple dwelling types.
