LP SolidStart gains footing in Scotland

MBM Forest Products has announced that it now stocks LP SolidStart LSL Rim Board out of its Denny, Stirlingshire, location in Scotland. 

The added product availability will allow MBM to service customers in Scotland and other key areas, with a 24-hour delivery. 

“One of the biggest benefits of the LSL rim board is the cost competitiveness,” said Andrew Caldwell, product manager for MBM. “The 29 mm LSL Rim Board uses 10% to 35% less m3 than traditional 32 mm or 45 mm alternatives, offering savings to timber frame manufacturers. Plus the lighter weight helps with faster installation.”

LP SolidStart Rim Board is designed for supporting vertical and lateral loads as a part of the overall framing system, providing consistency, strength and dimensional stability. LP SolidStart products are created primarily from smaller, fast-growing trees. They are Chain of Custody certified by both PEFC and SFI.

“MBM Forest Products is dedicated to providing our customers with the best products and a fast, efficient delivery service,” said Caldwell. “For the past two years, we’ve stocked SolidStart Rim Board solely in Tilbury. We’re seeing increasing demand for the product in Scotland. The added product availability will allow us to provide better service for customers throughout Scotland and Northern England.”
