Main properties of OSB:
1.High level of dimensional stability, homogeneity and uniform density of the board
2.Exceptionally low thickness tolerances and minimal volume variations
3.High resistance to the diffusion of water vapors – the OSB Premium (OSB – 3) surface increase the diffusion resistance. The water droplets cannot penetrate and the surface ensures an additional protection against dirt.
4.Excellent bending, pressure and tensile strength
5.High strength against joints compression
6.High strength against the out-of-roundness of holes and extraction of nails
7.Strength of the main axis against high stress
8.Easy to fit by means of traditional fitting devices
9.Wide range of sizes
10.High flexibility for applications due to the excellent performances when processed with traditional wood processing tools.
Applications of OSB in constructions: OSB is suitable for universal applications in interior and exterior conditions. OSB proves its strength mainly in the following fields;
Constructions:
-Large surface construction material for new constructions, for repairing and renovation projects
-Structural elements for holiday houses and chalets
-Sandwich panels for walls and ceilings
-Stiffening constructions for exterior and interior walls
-Load bearing and wearing layers for flooring
-Manufacturing of I – joists
-The boards can be used for : wall panels, false ceilings, subfloor, ceiling structure, roof sheathing
-Wall and ceiling cladding
-Shuttering
-Temporary covers for the openings of buildings
-Screening of big building sites
-Attic constructions on top of blocks of flats
-Shopping centers
-Container house villages
Other applications:
-Construction of exhibition centers
-Decorations, furniture elements, structures of upholstery, door fillings
-Construction / fitting of sales and exhibition stands
-Display walls
-Packaging, pallets, transport containers for high requirements
-Storage logistics (shelves, separation walls, etc.)
