OSB SUPERFINISH® ECO
OSB boards
OSB stands for „Oriented Strand Board“ and is a wood-based product made from thin veneer strands that are bonded together with a synthetic resin. OSB SUPERFINISH® ECO consists of three cross-oriented layers with the surface of the board formed from strands oriented along the length of the board and the core strands arranged in cross orientation. This crosswise orientation of the individual layers achieves a high level of dimensional stability and an excellent mechanical performance. Because of its bending strength OSB SUPERFINISH® ECO is the ultimate engineered wood product for timber framed construction. With its light and uniform wood surface it provides an attractive natural appearance and is used for a variety of decorative applications.
OSB SUPERFINISH® ECO
OSB SUPERFINISH® ECO is manufactured from quality softwood, primarily spruce. The veneer strands are precisely sliced from the side of clean, debarked wood logs so that the plane of the strand is parallel to the grain of the wood. These freshly cut strands are then dried, sorted and blended with a synthetic resin binder and a defined portion of paraffin emulsion before they are formed into large continuous mats. These mats are oriented in cross directional layers and pressed into panels by means of high temperature and pressure in the course of an uninterrupted continuous pressing process.
Contemporary timber framed construction is a lifestyle choice. Architects, developers and builders are looking increasingly at the environmental impact of their projects. Home buyers and consumers are both design conscious and environmentally aware. Due to its environmental and overall sustainability credentials timber as a construction material, has a significant role to play in helping to protect the environment. Timber framed construction delivers high build quality, a more efficient construction process and the opportunity to design beautiful and durable homes. Being a wood-based product with 95 % of its volume made of wood of woodlot thinnings sourced from wellmanaged forests OSB SUPERFINISH® ECO supports and contributes to sustainable construction.
