ensure our highest standards are met.

Why would I try Trubord?
Trubord’s resin formulation and quality protocol comes directly from our very successful
t&g sub-floor brand – TruFlor. Product manufactured using this standard have been
proven in the market place and have been overwhelmingly endorsed by builders. This
new protocol has been implemented at all our mills and Trubord is now available to all
major markets. These standards result in swell properties as good as or better compared
to other leading standard OSB brands. There are no core voids and the panel will not
delaminate.
Does Trubord have a warranty?
Yes, Trubord comes with a 25 year limited warranty.

on our TruFlor brand.
