OSB
OSB is a composite lumber made up of pieces of wood and used in a variety of construction applications. The name OSB comes from the initials of the words “Oriented Strand Board”.
OSB is made from thin woods cut into macroscopic strips glued parallel to each other in several layers, with the direction of the layers changing periodically to create a strong and durable panel. This panel is cut and used for various construction applications such as wall cladding, flooring, ceilings, and in the transportation industry for the construction of trucks and trailers.
OSB has great resistance to being exposed to weather conditions (rain and humidity) for a long time and even without any finish it can last for a long time.
OSB properties
USAGE
It is used for building use widely, e.g. masonry, roofs, floors, etc. It has very good mechanical strength and some types have cohesion and cohesion in structural uses.
CONSTRUCTION
It is made in panels of dimensions that are larger than plywood, so we do not have many joints.
ENVIRONMENT
OSB is considered by many to be a "green" building material because it can be made from smaller diameter trees, such as poplars, which are often cultivated.
