Wood is one of the most effective carbon stores, absorbing carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere, and its benefits as a main building material is becoming more evident.
MEDITE SMARTPLY, part of the Coillte Group, has continuously developed innovative, versatile and sustainableproducts, which are suitable for bespoke creations. MEDITE MDF and SMARTPLY OSB ranges include some of the most environmentally conscious building materials on the market.
Following on from its involvement at the COP26 UN Climate Change Conference in Glasgow, the company has partnered with multi award-winning garden designer Sarah Eberle at the annual RHS Chelsea Flower Show in London later this year to showcase the company’s innovation and sustainable ethos; from its sustainably managed forests through to its commitment to creating products that contribute to healthier buildings.
The main feature of the garden, inspired by natural vertical rock strata, will be created out of MEDITE TRICOYA EXTREME (MTX), a lightweight MDF panel guaranteed to last up to 50 years above ground and 25 years in the ground. It is especially beneficial in environments where humidity and varying weather are of concern.
In addition, the garden will feature two SMARTPLY OSB products: SMARTPLY STRONGDECK, a high-performance engineered wood, tongue and groove OSB/4 panel, suitable for the most demanding structural applications, and SMARTPLY SITEPROTECT PLUS – a pre-primed structural OSB/3 site hoarding panel ideal for securing sites.
SMARTPLY OSB is made from sustainable, fast-growing timber, as the brand only use forest thinnings of new-growth pine and spruce, including the tops which are not used to make any other wood-based product.
The RHS Chelsea Flower Show will take place in London on 24th-28th May 2022.
