OSB (oriented strand board) is a popular engineered wood product that is widely used in construction, DIY projects, and furniture making.
OSB boards are made by compressing strands of wood with a resin binder under high pressure and temperature, resulting in a strong, versatile, and cost-effective building material.
Mon Timber offers full sized OSB sheets (2440mm x 1220mm) and tongue-and-groove (T&G) OSB flooring boards to meet the needs of different applications. Full OSB sheets are available in various sizes and thicknesses and can be easily cut to fit specific projects. T&G OSB flooring boards, on the other hand, are designed specifically for use as subflooring in residential and commercial buildings.
One of the main benefits of OSB sheets or panels, is their strength and durability. They are resistant to warping, splitting and cracking, making them an ideal choice for construction projects that require a strong and reliable material. OSB sheets are also environmentally friendly, as they are made from renewable and recycled materials.
Another advantage of OSB sheets is their versatility. They can be used for a range of applications, such as wall sheathing, roof decking, subflooring and furniture construction. OSB sheets are also easy to install, as they can be nailed, screwed, or glued in place.
It is important to note that while OSB sheets are a cost-effective option compared to solid wood or plywood, they are not recommended for use in high-moisture areas such as bathrooms or kitchens. For these applications, we recommend using moisture-resistant panels.
T&G OSB flooring grade boards are designed specifically for use as subflooring and provide a strong and stable base for other flooring materials such as carpet, hardwood or tile. The tongue-and-groove design allows for a snug and secure fit between the boards, reducing squeaks and movement over time. T&G OSB flooring boards also provide excellent thermal and sound insulation properties, making them a popular choice for modern construction.
At Mon Timber OSB Flooring is typically available in 18mm and 22mm thicknesses and come in half sheet sizes for ease of transport and installation.
Overall, OSB board and T&G OSB flooring boards offer a reliable and practical choice for a range of construction and DIY projects. With their strength, durability and versatility, they provide an affordable and sustainable alternative to traditional building materials.
