What does OSB stand for?
OSB stands for Oriented Strand Board. It’s made by layering wood strands in specific directions and bonding them with resin under pressure, creating a strong and stable sheet material.

Is OSB as strong as plywood?
Yes. OSB is comparable to plywood in strength and is often preferred for its uniformity and value, particularly in flooring, roofing, and wall applications.

Can OSB be used outdoors?
For outdoor or humid conditions, choose OSB3 which is moisture-resistant. Our standard OSB Sterling Boards are best suited for dry internal environments.

Is OSB easy to cut and fix?
Definitely. OSB cuts cleanly and can be nailed, screwed, or glued just like plywood, making it simple to work with on site.
