Oriented Strand Board (OSB)

Home / Glossary

OSB stands for Oriented Strand Board. It is a type of engineered wood product that is commonly used in construction and building applications. OSB is made by compressing and gluing together small strands or flakes of wood in a cross-oriented pattern, creating a strong and durable panel.

OSB is similar to plywood, but is typically less expensive and can be made from a wider range of wood species. It is commonly used in a variety of construction applications, including roofing, flooring, and sheathing.

One of the primary benefits of OSB is its strength and durability. The cross-oriented pattern of the wood strands creates a panel that is strong and stable, and is less prone to warping, splitting, or delaminating than other types of engineered wood products. OSB is also easy to work with and can be cut, drilled, and shaped to fit a variety of building needs.

OSB is available in a range of sizes and thicknesses, and can be used in a variety of building applications. It is commonly used in roofing applications as a sheathing material, and is often used as a subfloor or underlayment for flooring. It is also used in wall sheathing and other building applications, and can be covered with a variety of finishing materials to create a smooth or textured surface.

Overall, OSB is a versatile and practical building material that offers a range of benefits in construction and building applications. Its strength, durability, and cost-effectiveness make it a popular choice for a variety of building projects.
