Oriented Strand Board (OSB) is an engineered wood panel product where the strands - or wood chips - are oriented, not randomly placed, and then bonded under heat and pressure. Since its debut in the marketplace in 1978, OSB has been rapidly accepted. In many areas of North America and Western Europe, OSB has virtually replaced other panels for numerous applications. Often seen as the ideal replacement for plywood, OSB's key features are strength, stiffness and consistency. In fact, of late, OSB has actually caught up with plywood in terms of volumes. OSB is less taxing on the environment, because it makes more effective use of wood and the raw material can be sourced from a wide variety of quick-growing trees. Plywood, on the other hand, makes less efficient use of raw materials and is a comparatively expensive manufacturing process. To know more, read the OSB Primer.
