OSB Board

What is OSB?

Perhaps you are wondering what OSB stands for. Well, it stands for Oriented Strand Board. OSB sheet is a strong, versatile and reliable engineered sheet material designed to be used in a vast amount of applications such as flooring and roofing, especially in areas of high humidity.

OSB wood sheet is manufactured by use of adhesives and layers of strands of wood (hence the name). It is these strands that give OSB its unique appearance.

OSB panel typically has a particoloured and rough surface. In fact, the individual strips of wood utilised during the creation of OSB are visible. The trips are usually 1 inch by 5.9 inches. The wood strips are laid disproportionately crisscrossing each other in different thickness and types. This is the secret behind OSB’s strength and flexibility.

OSB is also used as an alternative to softwood plywood since it offers the same performance, but cheaper than plywood. As such, OSB is commonly used as sheathing materials on floors, ceilings and walls in today’s construction.
