Title: Temple Inland Fiberboard products

Temple Inland's Fiberboards

From its beginnings in 1893 as a single sawmill, Temple-Inland has been dedicated to manufacturing outstanding products to meet customer needs.

Temple Inland supplies solid wood lumber, gypsum board and fiberboard products for residential and commercial construction projects. Whether for new construction or remodeling, do-it-yourselfers or professionals, the expanding product line provides a range of solutions to today’s building challenges.

Temple-Inland manufactures a full line of quality gypsum board products for fast, cost-efficient wall construction in both residential and commercial applications. Available in a range of dimensions and with a choice of special performance properties, this is one of its fastest growing product lines.

Temple-Inland fiberboard is a medium-density, semi-rigid building material composed of wood fibers and binders compressed under heat and pressure into large panels of various sizes. Lightweight and cost efficient, it has been a reliable part of the construction industry for almost fifty years.

Cost Efficient, Environmentally Responsible

Lightweight, cost efficient and with a long record of reliable performance, the brands that make up our fiberboard products category include some pioneers of sustainable building material manufacturing. Introduced in the late 50’s, our fiberboard sheathing included high percentages of recycled or reclaimed fiber long before the term green building ever existed.

QuietBrace,® FiberBase,® and Regular Fiberboard Sheathing Products produced in our Diboll, Texas, fiberboard operation, have been certified by Scientific Certification Systems to contain at least 85% recycled pre-consumer wood fiber on a dry weight basis.

GreenLite® andSoundChoice® have been certified by Scientific Certification Systems to contain at least 97% recycled pre- consumer wood fiber on a dry-weight basis.

The raw material used in this facility is southern yellow pine wood chips, a waste product from our solid wood lumber operation, also located in Diboll, Texas.

Besides eliminating waste that would otherwise end up in a landfill, this environmentally responsible recycling process also helps us maximize the usability of every tree harvested.

Another beneficial characteristic of the manufacturing process that produces our fiberboard products is that it can make use of damaged as well as younger, smaller diameter trees. That means even the timber gathered during the thinning process of existing pine plantations can be used to create valuable building materials.

Temple-Inland fiberboard is manufactured with a range of performance characteristics for many different applications:

Exterior Wall Sheathing Fiberboards

For builders and home buyers on a tight budget, fiberboard sheathing provides rigid reliability, insulation value and sound-deadening properties at a low cost. It is easy to handle and cut, and can be applied quickly using basic tools. Fiberboard is also permeable – it allows water vapor that forms in wall cavities to escape outwards, increasing a structure’s resistance to rot, mold and other moisture-related damage. In addition to the benefits provided by our regular sheathing board, FiberBrace structural wall sheathing provides code-recognized wall bracing strength.

Roofing Substrate Fiberboards

Fiber Base HD is specifically designed as a roofing substrate for a wide variety of roofing systems – from traditional built-up roofs to the latest single-ply systems. Available fully coated, coated one-side and uncoated, Fiber Base HD provides the ideal surface for membrane bonding and system durability.

Noise Control - Sound-Deadening Boards

SoundChoice sound-deadening fiberboard is manufactured for homes, apartments, schools, offices, hospitals or other applications where noise reduction is required. This uncoated fiberboard is specifically designed to reduce sound transmission through partitions, surrounding walls, ceilings and floors.

Temple-Inland fiberboard is made from green wood chips and other wood byproducts of southern pine sawmills. The chips are cooked under heat and pressure, reduced to a fibrous pulp that is formed into a mat and drained of water. After drying, the mat is trimmed to size (usually 4’ x 8’). Some panels are coated with asphalt for use as exterior sheathing or roof insulation board. Others are left uncoated for use in interior sound control applications.

Temple-Inland fiberboard is available to builders, roofing contractors and consumers through building material dealers, wholesalers and dealer co-ops.

Eco Friendly Fiberboards

Made in the U.S.A. Temple-Inland has never imported any gypsum wallboard from China. Its full line of gypsum products is manufactured at facilities that they own and operate in the United States under their high quality standards. Temple Inland has a long history in this industry and has never received any complaints similar to the ones currently in the news attributed to Chinese wallboard.

Recycled Content Certification: Scientific Certification Systems (SCS) has awarded certification to Temple-Inland Fiberboard products, including regular fiberboard sheathing, QuietBrace®, and FiberBase® HD based on the use of recovered and recycled materials in the manufacture of the engineered wood product. Fiberboard products manufactured at Temple-Inland’s Diboll, Texas fiber products operation have been certified to contain at least 84% recycled pre-consumer wood fiber on a dry weight basis.
