What is OSB Board?
Orientated Strand Board, or OSB, is similar to plywood in that the cross-orientation of strands that make up the board give it the same degree of strength and flexibility. With these benefits it makes an ideal material for a number of different construction projects.
There’s a variety of DIY projects that OSB boards are fantastic for and you can use it for both interior and exterior use as it’s weather resistant. It’s regularly seen to be used for flooring because of its strength, making it ideal for places like a workshop or a shed.
Quite often, this material is used as a replacement for plywood. So, if you are installing shelves, ceiling, cabinets, or planning to make some furniture, OSB boards are a great choice.
The Mick George Group have a a great range of OSB boards in a range of sizes and dimensions at great prices.
Benefits of Using OSB Boards?
If you want a cheaper alternative to plywood for construction, we highly recommend you try OSB boards. The quality material guarantees excellent construction and brings a bundle of great benefits as well.
- Strength – One of the biggest advantages that you get with OSB boards is, quite simply, that it is extremely strong. This is the reason why, over the years, it has overtaken plywood in popularity when it comes to applications such as flooring, roofing, and walling.
- Water Resistant – If you choose OSB boards which are designed for outdoor use, then it is going to be extremely water-resistant and, in some cases, even totally waterproof.
- Affordable – Even with its great qualities, OSB boards comes at a low price which can be seen as a lot more affordable than Plywood.
- Eco-Friendly – The wood used for OSB boards generally comes from small and fast-growing trees. This does allow for a good deal of sustainability, not to mention the fact that the maximum amount of wood fibres possible are used from each tree.
Osb is stronger than plywood in shear. Shear values, through its thickness, are about 2 times greater than plywood.
This is one of the reasons osb is used for webs of wooden I-joists. However, nail-holding ability controls performance in shear wall applications.

Plywood is made of many layers of very thin wood, called plys, pressed together with glue. It may be given a veneer 2 top of hardwood, while the inner layers are typically made of softwood.
OSB is made of many smaller pieces of hardwood and softwood mixed together in strands.

As a general rule, most OSB are water resistant. Due to their construction process using wood strands, resins and wax they come fairly water resistant.
However, if you’re looking for a truly waterproof OSB you need to make sure it is stamped stating so.
