Best Practices.

It is recommended to coat the boards to enhance their durability and resilience against moisture, thereby ensuring their reliability in load-bearing applications.

For optimal performance of PSB® EcoCore FR, it is recommended to use the boards in environments with low moisture exposure to ensure their longevity.

For components being fastened, such as beams, rafters, joists, and trusses, pre-drilling is essential. The diameter of the pre-drilled hole should be smaller than the screw diameter to ensure effective engagement of the screw threads.

During transportation and storage, avoid direct exposure to water droplets and precipitation on the edges and surfaces of PSB® boards. Adequate protective covers should be provided to safeguard the boards.

Use screws, nails, or staples for fastening, ensuring the length is at least 2.5 times the board thickness, but not less than 50-75 millimeters (mm). Fastening should occur at intervals of 150-300 millimeters (mm) on intermediate supports, depending on specific application requirements.
