OSB

When it comes to reliable, cost-effective building materials, OSB board (Oriented Strand Board) stands out as a top choice. Used widely in residential, commercial, and industrial construction, OSB offers strength, durability, and versatility—making it a smart alternative to traditional plywood for many structural applications.

What Is OSB Board?

OSB is an engineered wood panel made by compressing layers of wood strands with waterproof, heat-cured adhesives. These strands are arranged in cross-oriented layers, which gives OSB its name and its impressive load-bearing strength. The result is a solid, uniform sheet material ideal for sheathing, flooring, roofing, and more.

Why Choose OSB Board?

• High Structural Strength: OSB is designed to handle heavy loads, making it perfect for subfloors and wall sheathing.
• Cost-Effective Alternative to Plywood: OSB typically costs less than plywood while offering similar performance in many applications.
• Consistency and Uniformity: OSB panels are free of knots, voids, or weak spots, ensuring dependable quality across every sheet.
• Eco-Friendly Manufacturing: OSB is made from fast-growing, sustainably sourced wood species, maximisng forest efficiency and reducing waste.
• Moisture Resistance: Many OSB boards are treated for moisture resistance, making them suitable for environments exposed to dampness or humidity. 

Other sheet materials are available.
