Common Uses of OSB
OSB sheets share similarities with lightweight plywood, with the main difference being in the manufacturing process. OSB is widely used in various applications, including:
- Flooring
- Roofing
- Shelving
- Furniture
- Sheathing in walls
On the whole, an OSB panel provides a rigid structure for both structural and non-structural applications in dry, interior conditions. Many boards, such as 18mm OSB (3), can even withstand large amounts of moisture.
Protecting OSB from Moisture
The best sealer for OSB (to make it water-resistant) is a general exterior sealant. While OSB is strong, water exposure poses a risk to the edges of the board. A good quality OSB sealer will act as a protective measure to extend its durability.
Cost-Effective OSB Solutions
As mentioned, the average OSB cost is lower than other waterproof boards like chipboard. Our prices ensure you get high-quality OSB materials at excellent value, making it a budget-friendly choice for your project.
