EGGER OS’Brace® RAP is a high quality, moisture resistant, innovative and environmentally sustainable, structural bracing panel designed and manufactured specifically for the New Zealand building and construction industry.

 

The panel is treated to an H3.1 using a method where the chips themselves are treated prior to being glued together meaning that the panel is fully treated.

EGGER OS’Brace® RAP panels are made in one of the world’s most modern OSB plants in Germany from environmentally sustainable softwood plantation resources – conserving the world’s threatened tropical forests. All of their OSB products are certified with an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) according to ISO 14025.

 

The EGGER OS’Brace® RAP system has been engineered and tested to comply with the performance requirements of the New Zealand Building Code. P21 Structural testing has been completed in New Zealand and Treatment to comply with AS/NZS 1604.2 has been third party verified to make sure that you can use OS’Brace® RAP with confidence. The design criteria are based upon NZS 3604 Timber Framed Buildings.
