High mechanical strength - comparable with that of equivalent grades of plywood and other structural panel products.

High rigidity

Resistance to distortion, splitting and de-lamination

Excellent strength-to-weight ratio

Impressive durability - Dimensionally stable. Retains as-new performance levels throughout its long life when used in specified service conditions.

Precise, predictable performance - Load bearing grades conform with exactly defined design and loading specifications in dry or humid atmospheres.

Easy to work - Readily sawn, drilled, planed, routed and sanded. May be nailed, stapled or screwed close to the edge without splitting. Simple to glue, paint and stain.

Flaw-free - No knotholes, core voids or points of weakness.

Comprehensive choice - supplied in a variety of grades, a wide range of surface sizes, ready sanded or unsanded, plain-edged or tongued-and-grooved.

Low ecological impact - No mature trees are sacrificed in the manufacture of OSB. Only small-diameter timber from ecologically sustainable forests is used.
