Steico SE, a leading supplier renowned for their commitment to natural and sustainable building materials, has recently undertaken a significant rebranding initiative for one of their flagship products. The Duo Dry rigid sheathing and sarking board, which has been well-regarded in the industry for its performance and eco-friendliness, will now be marketed under the new name, Universal Dry. This change reflects Steico's ongoing dedication to innovation and improvement in their product offerings, as well as their desire to provide clearer information to customers about the versatility and applications of their products.

The Universal Dry product is designed to meet the evolving needs of builders and architects who are increasingly seeking sustainable solutions that do not compromise on quality or performance. With the rebranding, Steico aims to emphasize the universal applicability of this insulation board across various construction projects, highlighting its effectiveness in both residential and commercial applications. The product is crafted from natural wood fibres, which not only contribute to excellent thermal insulation but also promote a healthier indoor environment by regulating humidity levels and improving air quality.

As we transition in our inventory, it is important to note that once our current stock of Duo Dry in both 40mm and 60mm thicknesses is sold out, we will be fully stocking the Universal Dry. This shift will enable us to continue providing our customers with high-quality, sustainable insulation solutions that align with contemporary building practices. We are excited about this change and are confident that the Universal Dry will meet and exceed the expectations of our clientele, reinforcing our commitment to sustainability and excellence in construction materials.

The Universal Dry boards will maintain the same format as the previous Duo Dry: 2230mm x 600mm T&G, and their essential physical properties will remain largely unchanged.
