Oriented Strand Board (OSB) is an engineered wood product made from small wood strands that are bonded together with adhesives under high pressure and heat. The strands are arranged in specific orientations, giving OSB its unique strength and rigidity. It is widely regarded as a durable and cost-effective alternative to plywood, offering similar structural benefits at a more competitive price. OSB is made from fast-growing, sustainable wood sources, which makes it an eco-friendly option for construction and manufacturing projects.

Thanks to its versatility, OSB can be applied in numerous areas, including wall sheathers, roof and floor systems of both residential and commercial structures. The material can also be found exteriorly in applications where it is at the risk of moisture. Moisture makes wood rot). In addition, the uniform composition of the OSB makes it easier to cut, carry and install resulting into little or no wastage. This material is as well famous for its affordability and strength and for promoting green architecture through reduction of pressure on the tropical hardwoods.
