Building material very popular

One of the most common building material is, so-called, oriented strand board, she is oriented strand board that can compete with chipboard, plywood, DSP and plasterboard sheets. Its main manufacturers have Austria, Canada, the United States and some European countries, it is made in Russia. The best-known brands in the Russian market this plate, imported from abroad, there are: Glunz, LP, Ainsworth, Norbord and others.

OSB or OSB manifests themselves multilayer sheet of wood chips, which is glued by means of resins with the addition of synthetic wax and boric acid. It is known that most suitable for the production of wood material is aspen. OSB-boards are used in a number of different purposes: for wall cladding, as a removable formwork for the concrete work for the roof battens for single-layer and Coanda rough floors.

A variety of purposes of the application of this material was the reason for his classification. Thus, isolated RSD-1, RSD-2, 3-RSD, RSD-4, as well as varnished laminated boards and decking. RSD-1 is used under conditions of low humidity for furniture, siding and packaging, RSD-2 - in the manufacture certain structures in dry conditions, RSD-3 - for bearing structures provided increased humidity. Patent plate is covered on one side lacquer laminated - laminate, and characterized by the treated decking groove ends - special ridges for its installation.

The popularity of this material is determined by its properties, so convenient and necessary during construction. Firstly, OSB has inherent high level of strength. Its performance in 2.5 times the physico-mechanical properties of wood chipboards and equal to that of softwood plywood. The next equally important property has water resistance, thanks to which the material is not subject to destruction and can maintain its characteristics of strength within 1 day of being in the water. Plates have lungs to handle, they are easily cut, drilled, painted and glued. It has a very high rate, and retention of fasteners. Among the other significant advantages of this material - low level of defects such as lamination, swirls and voids, as well as the fact that the plate can not be spoiled by insects.

The presence of so many advantages of this material is, the reason for its high demand and popularity among builders.
