A Scandinavian inspired housing development near Nottingham is using Egger board products as part of developer Strata’s emphasis on wellbeing and the environment.
The Grace development, containing 45 four- and five-bedroom homes with designs named after European cities, is using Egger’s Protect structural flooring boards.
With sites across the North of England and the Midlands, Strata is inspired by the Scandinavian approach, blending functionality and simplicity to create spaces that enhance wellbeing and give a sense of belonging.
Darren Palmer, Project Manager at Strata, said Egger Protect boards offered Strata up to 100 days of weather protection on site – essential as the main construction works were taking place during the wetter winter months.
Strata has been using Egger Protect structural flooring on its developments for three years now.
Mr Palmer also said sustainability was top of the agenda at Strata, citing the Egger products use of renewable materials and processes.
A large percentage of Egger’s structural flooring boards are made up of recycled wood content supplied by Timberpak, a subsidiary of Egger UK, in addition to sawmill by-products (such as hackchips and sawdust) and virgin industrial waste wood, facilitating material circularity. All virgin timber used in the production process is sourced from local, certified forests.
In addition to this, EGGER UK has recently launched product-specific Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for its chipboard-based structural flooring products.
