Sterling OSB3 is to be used in a housing project showcasing the use of locally-sourced timber in Scotland.

The Model-D house, at Pitmachie near Aberdeen, has been designed by architect Gokay Deveci as a sustainable low-cost house for the “post-oil age”, and features passive energy conservation and high levels of insulation.

Around 220 sheets of Sterling OSB3 will be used as sheathing for the roof, floor and external wall panels, which project sponsor Norbord is to supply for free.
