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. It is commonly used in construction for sheathing, flooring, and roofing due to its strength and durability. OSB is often considered a cost-effective alternative to plywood. The manufacturing process of OSB involves layering strands of wood in different orientations, which enhances its structural integrity. This product is typically made from fast-growing trees, making it a more sustainable option compared to traditional lumber. OSB is also recognized for its versatility in various building applications.
