OSB / Oriented Strand Board

Base Materials

OSB / Oriented Strand Board

OSB, or oriented strand board, is a structural base board commonly used in custom cabinetry and interior woodwork. It is made from large wood strands arranged in oriented layers, bonded with adhesive and pressed under heat. Compared with standard particle board, OSB has a more visible strand structure and usually offers better overall strength, deformation resistance and stability when used as a structural substrate. It is more suitable for wall panel substrates, construction backing, cabinet structural substrates and some fixed furniture components. Its actual performance depends on board grade, thickness, glue type, moisture content, moisture protection, edge sealing, surface flatness and the final application environment.
