Plywood and OSB

Plywood

Plywood is one of the most widely used materials, consisting of layers of pressed veneer from softwood trees. The layers are arranged perpendicularly to each other and bonded with natural resins or synthetic adhesives that are resistant to moisture. This composition is completely safe for humans. The plywood typically contains at least three layers of veneer, which give it flexibility, resilience, and strength. Plywood is used in both rough finishes and in fine finishes for arches or flooring.

Visually, plywood sheets have a smooth, sanded surface without damage, allowing for immediate use in finishing work. It is commonly used in furniture production, formwork construction, and partition installation. Depending on its strength and processing quality, plywood sheets are available in several grades.


OSB (Oriented Strand Board)

Oriented Strand Board (OSB) is a relatively new building material that has gained widespread use. The panels consist of several layers of pressed wood chips, arranged perpendicularly to each other. Synthetic resins are used to bind the layers together. The wood chips used in OSB typically have a length of no more than 180 mm and a width ranging from 60 to 400 mm. Thanks to the multiple pressed layers, OSB has high strength, and the resins used in its production provide resistance to high humidity.

Both plywood and OSB are highly versatile materials used in construction, furniture, and various interior finishes, offering durability and resistance to environmental factors.
