Structural Board Association - Representing the OSB Industry

OSB in Manufactured Housing

With an engineered manufacturing process, OSB actually improves upon wood's natural properties, creating a structural panel that meets the requirements of the manufactured housing industry. To you, that means strength, stiffness and workability -- with superior uniformity and greater panel density. Don't forget, too, OSB is the only panel manufactured in oversized dimensions -- with presses up to 12' x 24' (3.6 x 7.2m). That means improved panel rigidity during erection and transportation.

Work with OSB, and you'll see the benefits. Show your customers, and they'll see the value-added difference. Just give them the facts:

  1. OSB provides practical advantages such as a home with quieter, squeak-resistant floors, especially in "screw and glue" systems.

  2. OSB is environmentally responsible. With negligible off-gassing, it's safe to use inside or out. And, OSB's fiber is harvested from sustainable, fast-growing timber sources, not old-growth forests.

  3. In many applications, OSB meets or exceeds the performance standards of plywood. And, like plywood, it's also an exterior bonded panel.

  4. OSB is approved by the manufactured housing industry and can be utilized as roof sheathing, wall sheathing, floor sheathing, as well as ridgeboards, shelving and cabinets. Oriented strand board -- the smart choice for nearly any application and clearly a new dimension in strength
