What Is 18mm OSB?
18mm OSB 3 is a precision-engineered board manufactured by bonding multiple layers of cross-oriented wood strands with a moisture-resistant resin under high heat and pressure. This process creates a structurally robust panel with exceptional dimensional stability and load-bearing capacity.
Its 'OSB 3' designation, defined by the BS EN 300 standard, confirms its suitability for load-bearing use in humid conditions. This makes it an ideal material for structural sub-flooring, where its strength supports heavy loads, and as roof decking, where its rigidity spans rafters while resisting ambient moisture.
Its cross-oriented build provides the racking strength required for wall sheathing in timber-frame construction, preventing twisting under wind load. The board's durability also makes it a reliable choice for secure site hoarding, capable of withstanding prolonged exposure to the elements.
Applications
18mm OSB 3 is a versatile panel for demanding projects. Its load-bearing capacity and moisture-resistant properties make it the ideal choice for a wide range of interior and exterior structural applications.
Recommended Applications:
- Structural Work: The industry standard for roofing, flooring, and wall sheathing, where rigidity and strength are essential.
- Garden Buildings: Creates robust and weather-resistant floors, walls, and roofs for sheds, workshops, and summer houses.
- Commercial & Retail Fit-Outs: Suitable for building heavy-duty shelving, racking, and exhibition stands designed to support significant weight.
- Site Hoarding: A durable and secure solution for long-term projects, capable of withstanding prolonged exposure to the elements.
Benefits
- Easy to drill, nail, file and sand
- Suitable for interior and exterior applications
- BBA classification permits use in a wide range of commercial and domestic situations
- Used extensively in renovation work and new projects
- Stronger than chipboard products and non-structural plywoods
- Manufactured to EN 300 performance standards
- BBA approved
- Standard boards have consistent dimensions of 2440 x 1220 (or 8ft x 4ft)
Moisture Resistance
18mm OSB 3 is engineered to offer superior performance in humid environments, setting it apart from interior-grade panels like MDF or the dry-condition-only OSB 2.
However, it is important to distinguish that "moisture-resistant" does not mean waterproof. For permanent outdoor installations where the board will be exposed to the elements, applying additional protection is essential.
To waterproof the board effectively, coat it with a quality exterior paint followed by a wood waterproofing sealant. Allow 12-24 hours for the first coat to dry completely before installing the board or applying a second coat if needed.
OSB Meaning
'OSB' stands for Oriented Strand Board, a name that directly reflects its composition. The 18mm OSB panel is engineered by compressing layers of oriented wood strands together with a high-performance adhesive resin.
