OSB is implemented especially in America and Canada as roofing because of its flexible structure
and decorative view. We can say for OSB that it is oven-dry and processed, in 122 x 183 cm size standard timber.
But its quality and stability have excellent specifications compared to the other timbers.
Because OSB is produced in special facilities, in electronically humidity controlled area, in self-controlled
machines in accordance with its size. It is equivalent with wooden and it can be used almost everywhere
that wooden can be used. It is extremely water and humidity resistant.
It is obtained by spreading wood shaving and wood chips in parallel with together in board shape and
by arranging each layer zigzag to each other; and providing that the last layer’s direction is the same
with the first layer’s direction. Therefore it is suitable for nailing. Its transportation and shipping are easy.
It improves safety of structure. It is decorative and suitable for paving and ceiling.
It is resistant to humidity, infestation and mould.
OSB, as a basic material, may be considered to be unsafe because it is seen as a material obtained
by sticking wooden particles or huge wood chips. However, OSB is a wooden material that
has advanced manufacturing technology.
