Wood strands bonded with adhesives to form a mat. Like the veneer in plywood, these mats are layered and oriented for maximum strength, stiffness and stability. The individual strands are typically three to four inches long. OSB is widely used as construction sheathing, as the web material for wood I-joists, as the structural skins of structural insulated panels (SIPs), and in a growing number of other applications.
A manufactured 4-foot-by-8-foot wood panel made out of one- to two-inch wood chips and glue. Often used as a substitute for plywood.
A multilayer board produced from long, slender strands of a defined shape and thickness bound together with a binder. OSB competes for the same applications as plywood.
Structural panels made of narrow strands of fiber that are oriented lengthwise and crosswise in layers and bound together with resin. Depending on the resin used, OSB can be suitable or interior or exterior applications. Plywood and OSB are also referred to as structural panels and used in applications where strength and stiffness are required, e.g., roofs, walls, floors, etc.
Wood panels made of wood chips oriented lengthwise and crosswise in layers with a resin binder.
A structural panel made of narrow strands of fiber oriented lengthwise and crosswise in layers, with a resin binder. Depending on the resin used, OSB can be suitable for interior or exterior applications.
A manufactured wood panel made out of 1"- 2" wood chips and glue. Often used as a substitute for plywood in the exterior wall and roof sheathing.
A type of particle panel product composed of strand-type flakes which are purposefully aligned in directions which make a panel stronger, stiffer, and with improved dimensional properties in the alignment directions than a panel with random flake orientation; also called Strandboard.
A plywood substitute composed of layer bonded together with resin. Each layer consists of compressed strands of wood fiber oriented in a single direction; layers alternate direction of strand orientation.
Roof deck panels (4 by 8 feet) made of narrow bits of wood, installed lengthwise and crosswise in layers, and held together with a resin glue. OSB often is used as a substitute for plywood sheets.
A wood panel composed of compressed strands of wood fiber and resin. Can be used as an alternate sheathing on the walls, roof and floors.
Panels made from narrow strands of fibre oriented lengthwise and crosswise in layers, with a resin binder. Depending on the resin used, OSB can be suitable for interior or exterior applications. Panneau de particules orientées
Commonly referred to as “OSB†is a siding, or sheathing made from wood chips that are bonded together with glue under pressure and soaked or sprayed with sealants to resist damage caused by moisture.
A manufactured 4' X 8' wood panel made out of 1"- 2" wood chips and glue. Often used as a substitute for plywood
uses small chips of wood scraps and glue to create strong sheet material that is often used in place of plywood.
Wood panels made from wood fibers and chips that are mixed with resin and raked to orient them in the long direction of the panel to maximize strength. OSB, made from what is essentially a waste product, can replace plywood, saving lumber. A concern, similar to many manufactured products, is outgassing from the resin binder.
A building panel composed of long shreds of wood fiber oriented in specific directions and bonded together under pressure. Commonly called "strand board" or OSB.
A manufactured wood product consisting of wood strands and resin bonded with heat. Used as sub-flooring and sheathing.
Oriented strand board, or OSB, is an engineered wood product formed by layering strands (flakes) of wood in specific orientations. In appearance it has a rough and variegated surface with the individual strips (around 2.5 by 15 cm each) lying unevenly across each other in the direction of their grain.
