GENERAL USE

OSB can do practically anything Plywood can do.

OSB 2

OSB2 is your general ‘structural applications in dry conditions’ and ‘non-structural building’ type of board. It’s versatile, strong, cost-effective and available in a variety of widths, sizes and grades. Plus, it’s manufactured to EN 300 standard - so you can tick that one off. If you’re working on signboards, packaging, furniture, pallet tops, temporary formwork, sheds, hoarding or boarding it’s your first and last stop.

OSB 3

Got humid conditions? Get OSB 3. It’s versatile, strong, cost-effective and conditioned to perform in moist environments. Basically it’s a fully certified alternative (and superior option) to softwood plywood. Plus, it’s great for both interiors and exteriors thanks to its added resins.

EXAMPLES

Here’s just a few examples of what OSB 2 and OSB 3 (the most commonly used panels) can do between them:

Packaging

Between the performance of OSB2 and the humidity friendly OSB3 you can package most things in a strong safe way.

Stables and kennels

Make an animal happy. Build it a home out of OSB. Cost effective and versatile, it’s perfect for the construction of stables, kennels and other animal shelters. For best results and to avoid splintering - always sand the cut edges. A primer and finish coat of paint will seal up the panels and get it ready for the proud owner to move in.

Concrete formwork

OSB3 is suitable for temporary formwork where you don’t need a smooth finish on the face of the concrete. Just use it as you would any other plywood panel; remembering, of course, to seal and oil it before pouring the concrete.

Sheds

Because it’s a cost-effective, high performance, environmentally-sustainable solution you’ll find OSB is used for floors and roofs in most shed construction.
