Strebord Flooring
Strebord was developed - and continues to evolve - in partnership
with customers in the mezzanine floor and storage platform market.
All mezzanine floor providers whether large or small have specific
requirements to meet and problems to solve.
We are committed to building close links with customers to help them
achieve those ends. Product design, special sizes, coatings or profile format,
pricing relationships and excellent deliveries are all part of this service commitment.
In-house expertise on technical and legislative issues,
plus efficient distribution through a strategically placed network of UK
stock holding facilities, underpin this high level of service.
Now in our 20th year Strebord has become the market leader in mezzanine
flooring for storage. Falcon Panel Products intends to maintain this
position by continuing to supply the right product to the industry at
the right price and at the right time.
Strebord is a range of heavy duty, 38mm wood particleboard floor panels
developed with the major suppliers of mezzanine floors and storage
platforms to meet their specialised needs.
Engineered by leading chipboard product manufacturers, Strebord features
unique T & G profiling. Consistency of quality and specification from board
to board ensures straightforward installation, a neat, professional finish
and high user satisfaction.
Strebord is the No 1 choice in the vast majority of installations in the
UK and abroad.
For 20 years, Falcon Panel Products has supplied Strebord to over 500 UK
projects a year - from large-scale warehousing contracts for the major
operators to relatively modest space-saving structures built by smaller independent storage specialists.
Range
Strebord is offered with a unique T & G profile to two long sides.
Performance is at or above the appropriate levels for types
C P5 and
C P6
wood particleboards (as defined in BS EN 312-5:1997 and BS EN 312-6:1997
respectively). Standard panel sizes are 2100/2400/2440mm x 600mm TG2.
Special sizes are available to order.
Strebord C P6 is a heavy duty wood
particleboard suitable for most storage applications.
Strebord C P5 is an extra moisture-resistant (MR) panel for use in humid conditions.
It is manufactured to meet growing industry demand for a board that can
cope with damp or hostile environments. For identification purposes, Strebord MR panels are unique in having an easily identifiable green core construction.
Sustainable
Strebord is environmentally friendly, manufactured principally by Norbord,
using wood from sustainable forests. It conforms with current formaldehyde
emission classes to BS EN 120 - perforator test method.
Processing

Falcon Panel Products works closely with dedicated panel processors
such as TFS on Merseyside to offer Strebord in various protective
finishes. Reliable, consistent end effective, these can be applied to one or both surfaces.
Class '0' flame-retardant reflective foil, applied to the underside,
provides excellent fire performance characteristics.
Available in Silver and white foil maximising the benefits of light reflection.
Surface Finishes
Acrylic lacquer
- u/v stabilised and applied in two coats -
offer excellent protection against knocks and scraping whilst keeping dust to a minimum.
Treadsafe 'Grey'
- a harder surface with an anti-slip finish,
is achieved by bonding a high density textured melamine overlay to the top side.
A white melamine balancer on the reverse is offered as standard.
Treadsafe 'Flek'
- a harder surface with a decorative anti-slip surface with a
white melamine balancer as standard.
Installing
Strebord panels are usually fixed directly and simply to the supporting
structural steelwork using self-tapping screws.
Ensure that the longer tongue is uppermost, and the boards are laid in a
traditional staggered, brick-bond pattern. Joints should be tightly formed
and all short edges supported. A minimum 10mm expansion gap is normally
recommended between the deck edge and any wall.
Following these simple guidelines will quickly give a smart, secure
finish which can support a 1.5 tonne pallet truck on spans up to 525mm,
or a tonne truck on up to 700mm. If in doubt as to the load requirements,
please apply for technical advice.
