Norbord

RIM BOARD by Norbord^® is a precision engineered wood product specifically designed for today’s engineered floor systems.  RIM BOARD is designed to fill the space between the sill plate and the subfloor or in second floor construction between the top plate of the first floor walls and the second level subfloor. Supporting the wall loads, RIM BOARD ties the joists together and is an integral component of wood floor systems by transferring both lateral and vertical bearing forces.
