Oriented strand board OSB.

Oriented Strand Board OSB. A new versatile building material, which the builders nicknamed the "American veneer." "The American plywood - it's OSB (Orient Standart Board), wood stove in large-size-oriented chips. Since its emergence success exceeded all expectations of the architects, designers, builders and designers. CAP meets the most stringent modern requirements to the derived timber products, and at the same time is devoid of such shortcomings inherent in natural wood or even plywood, like twigs, fallen twigs, bundle, buckling, internal voids and cracks. The undoubted advantages of OSB is a high strength (earthquake in California and Japan - have shown that the wall construction of houses frame type sheathed CAP, they stood in contrast to houses, whose walls were built of brick or concrete, ie house frame construction have greater strength and integrity), hardness, homogeneity, moisture resistance, ease of handling (easy enough to cut and drilled, glued and can be painted any glues and paints intended for wood), the ability to quickly cover large areas (especially when using a plate with a groove- comb), the ability to securely hold nails and screws (physical and mechanical properties of OSB in 2,5 times higher than the ADI). And most probably, more importantly, that it is environmentally friendly and hygienic material, at least in its manufacture and the synthetic binders. Scope of the CAP due to the above advantages are manifold: - Cabin interior and exterior walls, attics (CAP competitor in this direction is already well known gipsokorton, whose physical and mechanical properties are much more modest) - manufacturer of rough equality, and the ground under the carpet floor with coverage, ie obtained a perfect dry screed, moreover, unlike similar materials (particleboard, plywood) using CAP pitch lag may be increased because American plywood has greater strength, but because of the connection tongue and groove (as in the floor board) for the device sub-floor does not require additional support under the joints - labels roofs (instead of the usual crates of uncircumcised boards), in this case, we have the ideal foundation for a soft roof - manufacture of wall panels "sandwich" (GSP + insulation + CAP) - Manufacturing designs removable formwork reusable - making dlinnoproletnyh beams (up to 11 meters) - the erection of temporary fencing and prefabricated structures; - use for decorative purposes and finishing interiors, thanks to the original texture of the surface - making structural elements of furniture (where necessary mechanical strength is higher than that usually employed ADI), racks, shelves, reusable and durable packaging (boxes, plates, trays). CAP produced the following formats. The base is 2440x1220 mm, according to customer requirements and formats are possible 2500x1250mm, 5000x1250mm and 5000x2500mm. Gradation in thickness is also quite broad. The main base thicknesses, as shown, is 10. 12, 16 and 18 mm, but can and thickness 6, 8, 22, 25 and 30 mm. To date, CAP is completely pushed out of the construction industry in many countries familiar to us plywood, and successfully competes with tin and lumber. "American Home" and "Canadian House" - is nothing more than a cottage frame structure, where the main structural material is a CAP.
