Egger OS'Brace RAP (Rapid Air Protection) is a high quality structural bracing panel designed and manufactured specifically for the New Zealand building and construction industry. With excellent moisture resistance properties, OS'Brace RAP provides outstanding strength, long-term dimensional stability and is resistant to splitting and de-lamination.
Builders love using OS'Brace RAP because it is lightweight (making installation a breeze) and easy to cut, nail, screw and drill. OS'Brace RAP has a clean, fresh timber appearance with none of the typical veneer defects common to plywood.
Designers and specifiers are delighted knowing that Egger OS'Brace RAP is CodeMark certified, meaning it meets building code performance requirements which streamlines the building consent and inspection process. Building consent authorities must accept a CodeMark certified product as complying with NZ Building Code when it is used in building work, as long as the product is specified for use in accordance with the certificate.
Timber merchants know their customers are continually on the lookout for greener building material options. These panels are made in one of the world's most modern OSB plants in Germany from environmentally sustainable softwood plantation and are an ultra-low formaldehyde emitting product.
The panel is treated to an H3.1 using a method where the chips themselves are treated prior to being glued together, meaning that there is no need to retreat after cutting.
Egger OS'Brace RAP is now available in H3.1, 6mm thick in sizes: 2440, 2745, 3050 x 1200mm.
