Oriented Strand Board (OSB) is an engineered wood product made from strands of wood that are oriented in specific directions and bonded together with adhesives. This process creates a strong and durable panel that is commonly used in construction, particularly for walls, roofs, and floors. OSB is known for its cost-effectiveness and versatility, making it a popular choice among builders. The manufacturing of OSB involves layering strands of wood in different orientations, which enhances its structural integrity. It is often used as an alternative to plywood due to its similar properties and lower production costs. OSB is also environmentally friendly, as it utilizes smaller trees and wood residues.
