Smooth Finish: The primary feature of SS-OSB is its smoother surface finish compared to standard OSB. This makes it more suitable for applications where a smoother appearance is desired.

Application: Smooth Surface OSB is versatile and can be used in a variety of applications, such as sheathing, subflooring, roofing, and other construction projects.

Engineered Wood: Like traditional OSB, SS-OSB is an engineered wood product. It is made by compressing and bonding wood strands together with adhesives under high pressure and heat.

Strength Characteristics: SS-OSB maintains the structural strength and stiffness that OSB is known for. It is a durable and reliable material for various construction purposes.

Moisture Properties: OSB, including the smooth variant, is generally more moisture-resistant than traditional plywood. However, it is essential to use proper waterproofing and sealing techniques in applications where exposure to moisture is a concern.

Affordability: SS-OSB is often more cost-effective than alternative materials such as plywood. This makes it a popular choice for builders and contractors looking for a budget-friendly option.

Structural Framing

SS-OSB can be used in structural framing systems, serving as beams, joists, and headers. It is often used in conjunction with other building materials to create load-bearing components.

Soundproofing

In some applications, SS-OSB may be used as part of a soundproofing system due to its density and ability to dampen sound.

Sheathing & Roof Decking

SS-OSB is frequently used as sheathing for walls, roofs, and floors. It provides structural support and serves as a stable base for exterior finishes such as siding or roofing materials.

Wall and Roof Construction

SS-OSB panels are employed in the construction of walls and roofs, particularly in residential and commercial buildings. It offers excellent strength and stability, contributing to the overall structural integrity of the building.

Subflooring

SS-OSB is commonly used as a subfloor material. It provides a solid and stable base for finished flooring materials such as hardwood, laminate, or carpet.

Packaging and Crating

In industrial applications, SS-OSB may be used for packaging & crating due to its strength and rigidity.

The manufacturing process of SS-OSB involves several steps:

Logs are debarked and cut into strands. These strands are oriented in
specific directions to maximize the panel’s strength and performance.
The oriented strands are mixed with a resin binder and wax to enhance
moisture resistance. The mixture is then spread onto a mat and
compressed under high pressure and heat.
The SS-OSB panels are cut into desired sizes and undergo quality checks
before use.

Cost-Effective: SS-OSB is generally more affordable than plywood, making it
a cost-effective choice for builders and homeowners.
Versatility: SS-OSB can be used in many applications, including roofing,
flooring, wall sheathing, and furniture construction.
High Strength: The oriented strand arrangement gives SS-OSB superior
strength, making it suitable for demanding structural applications.
Moisture Resistance: With the right treatment and coatings, SS-OSB can
resist moisture, making it suitable for humid environments.
Sustainability: SS-OSB is made from fast-growing wood species and is often
produced using sustainable forestry practices.

Cost-effectiveness: Wood is often more affordable than alternative building materials, such as steel or concrete. This makes it an attractive option for developers and homeowners looking to keep construction costs down.

Renewable resource: Wood is a renewable resource, and sustainable non- forestry practices can ensure a steady supply. Responsible clean environment management can help
offset the environmental impact of using wood for construction.

Energy efficiency: Wood is a natural insulator, providing good thermal performance. Wooden structures can be energy-efficient, helping reduce heating and cooling costs.

Aesthetic appeal: Many people appreciate the natural beauty and warmth of wood, making it a popular choice for residential construction.

SS-OSB primarily comprises three layers: the surface layers and the core layer.

The surface layers are made of finer strands and are more tightly
compressed, providing a smooth and even finish.
The core layer consists of coarser strands and contributes to the
overall strength of the panel.
The strands are arranged in a crisscross pattern, creating a
structurally stable panel resistant to warping.

One of the key advantages of SS-OSB is its exceptional strength and durability.
The oriented arrangement of strands gives SS-OSB superior load-bearing
capacity, making it suitable for various structural applications.
SS-OSB panels also have excellent dimensional stability, meaning they are less
likely to expand or contract due to changes in temperature and humidity.
Additionally, SS-OSB is highly impact-resistant and can withstand heavy loads
without significant deformation.
This Board can be used vertically or horizontally but the STRENGTH will
remain the same due to over cross laying of STRANDS.

Construction: SS-OSB is used for construction of the entire houses including roofing and
flooring, hotels and motels.
Roof Decking: SS-OSB is often used as a base material for roofing systems, providing a
sturdy and reliable surface for shingles or other roofing materials.
Wall Sheathing: SS-OSB panels are commonly used as an exterior wall covering, providing
structural support and insulation for buildings.
Subflooring: SS-OSB is an excellent choice due to its strength, stability, and moisture
resistance.
Furniture Construction: SS-OSB can create sturdy and durable furniture, such as
wardrobes, shelves, cabinets, and tables.

Is SS-OSB stronger than plywood?
SS-OSB is generally stronger than plywood due to its oriented strand
arrangement and high density which enhances its load-bearing capacity.

Can SS-OSB be used outdoors?
SS-OSB can be used outdoors, but it should be protected from prolonged
exposure to moisture. Coatings or sealants can enhance its moisture resistance.

Is SS-OSB more affordable than plywood?
The price of SS-OSB is generally similar to plywood, but the quality that of
SS-OSB is far better than the Plywood making it a popular choice for
construction projects.
