OSB3 Board
(5 Products)
Purpose-built to withstand high humidity and high levels of stress, Oriented Strand Board (OSB) is a multilayer board made up of (you guessed it) 'oriented strands'. This unique formation of wood fibres is what lends itself to the boards' excellent load-bearing capacity and attractive wood-patterned finish. The boards' BBA classification permits use in an array of applications such as commercial and domestic roofing and flooring. We stock OSB3 in thicknesses: 9mm, 11mm and 18mm.

OSB boards are created to be sturdy - as such, they outperform other engineered wood products--like plywood and chipboard--in tests of shear strength. Because of their universal ability to withstand pressure and weight, OSBs can be used for an array of construction projects.
Despite their superiority in strength, OSB boards generally tend to be cheaper than plywood, further making them viable for a wide range of applications such as sub-flooring.
OSB3 Applications
Oriented Strand Boards are suitable for use in a variety of exterior and interior applications, such as wall sheathing, roofing and flooring applications. Due to their moisture-resistant properties, the boards can also be utilised in long-term site hoardings.
As well as being a heavyweight load-bearing construction board, OSB boards are equally effective in both domestic and decorative applications.
