OSB3 Square Edge & T&G
Kronospan OSB3 is a strong yet flexible, precision-engineered structural board for use in load bearing humid conditions in house building and commercial construction.
Strong, stable and more sustainable, oriented strand board (OSB) is replacing plywood - especially for timber framed houses and in the packaging industry. OSB is used instead of standard silica or plaster-based construction materials.
To produce oriented strand board, timber is sliced into long chips called strands. These are laid in three or four perpendicular layers and bonded using ECO resin. The result is a strong board that resists moisture, giving it a high load capacity.
Key Features
- Strong, stable and more sustainable, oriented strand board (OSB) is replacing plywood - especially for timber framed houses and in the packaging industry. OSB is used instead of standard silica or plaster-based construction materials.
- To produce oriented strand board, timber is sliced into long chips called strands. These are laid in three or four perpendicular layers and bonded using ECO resin. The result is a strong board that resists moisture, giving it a high load capacity.
- As the panels are precision engineered, each pack contains uniform, high quality panels, with no knots, voids or delamination problems.
- Kronospan OSB3 is easy to saw, drill, nail, plane, file or sand. Nails can be driven as close as 8mm from the panel edge without splitting.
- OSB Superfinish is the most progressive OSB type that is currently available. OSB Superfinish is developed and manufactured entirely in compliance with the current demand of ecological living focused on organic materials.
- Selecting suitable wood and binder, OSB Superfinish meets high standards of not only environmental buildings.
- Strands are bound with a formaldehyde-free binder. Formaldehyde emissions are limited to the natural content of formaldehyde in solid wood; ⟨ 0.03 ppm.
- Also available in tongued and grooved boards.
