OSB Frequently Asked Questions

Is OSB economical to use?

OSB's engineered manufacturing process makes it extremely economical for several reasons:
  • Only trees from sustainable, fast-growing forests or woodlot thinnings are required in the manufacturing process, so there is always an abundant supply of convenient, high-quality raw materials.

  • The panel is engineered for uniformity, eliminating costly surprises like core voids and knotholes, so you can use what you buy and get what you pay for.

  • OSB is manufactured worldwide, meaning its abundant supply and easy access ensures economical purchasing and shipping methods.

  • OSB is a better value than other structural panels.

  • OSB also offers increased flexibility in selecting panel thicknesses and sizes.
