Applications

SMARTPLY PATTRESS PLUS is designed to provide support for fixtures and fittings in non-structural metal stud constructions.

The ready prepared modular panels are quick and easy to use and fit all commercially available drylining stud systems. The high performance solid core OSB3 ensures secure anchorage at any point on the panel face.

SMARTPLY PATTRESS PLUS does not add to the finished partition thickness and provides a robust partition structure suitable for use in in public access areas including corridors and stairwells, contributing to higher levels of impact resistance.

SMARTPLY PATTRESS PLUS is an OSB3 panel with no added formaldehyde and therefore may also be useful in environmentally sensitive interior applications such as hospitals, laboratories, museums and schools.
