What is an OSB panel?
OSB (Oriented Strand Board) is a construction material made of 3 layers of compressed wood strands bonded with resin. This cross-layered design, created under high pressure and temperature, ensures high strength and excellent dimensional stability.
OSB stands out for its raw, natural appearance, appreciated both for its mechanical qualities and visual appeal. Its uniform structure makes it easy to cut, screw, and install, while maintaining good mechanical strength and durability for various applications.
What is special about OSB 3 panels?
The OSB market is divided into several categories defined by the European standard EN 300. The number "3" indicates that the panel is designed for use in areas with occasional humidity (kitchen, bathroom, under-roof, ground floor subflooring).
Its composition allows it to withstand humidity variations without warping, while maintaining its structural properties. This sets it apart from OSB 1 (dry environment, non-structural use) and OSB 2 (dry environment, structural use).
Why choose an OSB 3 board for your projects?
OSB 3 has many advantages, making it a preferred choice for a wide range of applications.
- Strength and durability: thanks to its unique structure, OSB 3 offers strength comparable to solid wood. It supports heavy loads and resists deformation.
- Versatility: OSB 3 boards are recommended for many structural applications (floors, load-bearing subfloors, walls and partitions, roofs and under-roofs, furniture, storage, etc.). Its raw and textured look makes it a decorative feature in itself.
- Insulation: OSB has excellent thermal and acoustic insulating properties, contributing to interior comfort.
- Ease of use: Although strong, OSB is lightweight and easy to handle and work with. It can be cut, drilled, and screwed using standard tools, making project implementation easier.
- Recyclable material: OSB is made from wood sourced from sustainably managed forests and represents a more affordable alternative to solid wood. For safe indoor use, our panels are also certified low formaldehyde emission, according to European standards.
