Oriented Strand Board (OSB)

Oriented Strand Board (OSB) is a type of engineered wood panel made from thin, rectangular wood strands that are layered and bonded together with adhesives under high pressure and heat. The strands are arranged in specific orientations to enhance strength and stability. It is commonly used in construction for sheathing, flooring, and roofing due to its affordability, durability, and uniform consistency. OSB provides a practical alternative to plywood, offering good load-bearing capacity and resistance to moisture when properly installed. Overall, OSB is a versatile, reliable, and environmentally-efficient building material.
