Oriented Strand Board (OSB) is a type of engineered wood product made from strands of wood that are oriented in specific directions and bonded together with adhesives. OSB is widely used in construction and other applications due to its strength, versatility, and cost-effectiveness.
OSB is designed to offer high strength and durability, making it suitable for structural applications in construction, such as wall sheathing, roof decking, and subflooring.
OSB is generally less expensive than plywood and other engineered wood products, making it a popular choice for budget-conscious projects.
OSB can be used in a variety of applications, including residential and commercial construction, furniture, and packaging.
OSB utilizes wood residues and small-diameter trees, which can be more sustainable and reduce waste compared to using large, high-quality logs for plywood.
