Is OSB Bad?! (Oriented Strand Board--What It's For / When To Use It...House Sheathing/Subfloor)
OSB is short for ORIENTED STRAND BOARD.
It first showed up in the 1970s, when the APA approved it as a multi-purpose construction panel.
OSB is typically used as sheathing for floors, roofs and walls in residential construction. Many builders turned to it in the 80s because of its low price point.
OSB is made up of small wood strands mixed with various waxes, resins and adhesives and pressed into mats and panels.
Despite its ugly appearance, OSB actually has better shear strength than plywood--this is, essentially, the property that prevents houses from collapsing sideways
If OSB has a serious weakness, it has always been with MOISTURE PENETRATION.
When OSB sits out in inclement weather, it absorbs moisture. This causes EDGE SWELLING--pronounced swelling at the edges.
Edge swelling can cause problems in construction if it pushes up shingles and thin flooring. This is known as "Expressing" or "Telegraphing."
OSB has a lot of competition in the market these days. The ZIP WALL SYSTEM is sort of like a house sheathing and house wrap in one, which is getting used a lot. And ADVANTECH is a very stable subfloor material that many builders prefer over OSB these days.
Thanks for watching!

I used 7/16 OSB to finish the walls in my shop instead of drywall 20 years ago. I put it up with the more textured side out. Painted white it gives an interesting texture wall finish. And being in a shop, you can attach anything anywhere without needing to attach to find a stud or girt.

@trumpisaconfirmedcuck5840 2 года назад

Better: install OSB then install drywall on top of that. You get the benefits of both (can hang stuff anywhere, fire resistance of drywall, finish capabilities of drywall with mud and tape, etc.) It's also a HARD surface you can't punch through like with drywall. Not easily anyway. When you hang your drywall you don't even need to find a stud for the drywall screws. The downside is of course the cost and time of installing both. I did both in my garage though, OSB then drywall and it's awesome.

@toonybrain Год назад

Good idea

@chriscolameco6850 Год назад

Or you can skip the drywall and just skim coat the OSB with compound. Im doing that for radiator covers in one of my rentals now. If it holds up over the years, I might just do that instead of sheetrock for walls. It’s cheaper. Goes up faster, is more “tenant proof.” Gonna do one with hot mud, one with mud and oil based primer. I might plaster one since I want to learn how to do that too.

I was taught to prime the wood after cutting to size with a white lead oil paint, then let it dry before installing the wooden pieces. Today, I will prim large pieces like flooring on both sides and the edges with a decent primer before installing them, now I use water based primer. I was trained as a carpenter by my father, but became an electrician. (The Carpenters were not taking any apprentices when I was ready.) So I only do the carpentry work on my home. I have never found anyone else who believed in priming the cut boards before installing them. I still do, although I only work on my home.

@fionnmoranobriain3615 Год назад

If you want timber to last you have to use a water based microporous paint as to not clog but allow the timber to breath so it doesn’t get dry rot, I would only recommend that on timer that is on the exterior or exposed to the elements. Inside your house though is sealed so there would be no need for the paint as it doesn’t need moister or UV protection. It’s definitely smarter and cleaner to paint timber before installing if you have the intention of painting it after installing anyway 👍

@kshxfkt76pz7 11 месяцев назад

Water-based anything causes swelling, but stuff like Woodlife Classic is OK on something like a fence picket. Clear Penetrating Epoxy Sealer (CPES) is what you really want to use, but it is pricey.

The first horse stalls I built was done with 3/4 plywood. Learned that a horse could dent and even break through with a swift kick. Last ones I used OSB. In 10 years, the OSB has remained undamaged. I'm sold on its durability and structural integrity.

@TheHonestCarpenter 2 года назад

Supposedly it has far fewer voids than plywood, Joe. That’s why some people prefer it for subfloors-it’s just denser.

@desertodavid 2 года назад

@@TheHonestCarpenter right. Not only is OSB more dense then plywood, I think the most important aspect is because of the oriented cross layering of the chips it's also far more Superior in resistance to warping-- don't you think? Honestly I think that's one of its main advantages.

In the uk oriented strand board comes in different grades and level OSB 3 is passed by buildings control as structural timber for building with. It can be left out in the rain without treatment for many months. You often see building sites use it as shuttering around the external fencing of a site to keep the public away. OSB 2 is furniture grade for carcasses and areas that don’t get seen. It’s brilliant stuff and in my opinion superior to ply. You can screw the edge on wider boards using special course threaded screws, but for sheathing it’s the only option.

My buddy worked for "Heartland" a big shed/storage building co. During that time they did a: OSB vs plywood test. They repeatedly parked a 1/2 ton pickup truck on a 10' x 16' mock sub-floor using 1/2" and 5/8" flooring, and treated 2 x 4's [4' on center so the flooring would bear most of the load]. In the end the OSB out performed the plywood with regards to sagging, and damage; *but* like you said, just don't get it wet. ;)

@flagmichael 2 года назад

That explains a lot! A couple weeks ago I replaced much of the carpet and other flooring in our house with LVP. The last room was the master bath, but there I noticed the plywood subfloor was overlaid with 1/4 inch OSB. It was glued down as well, so I was stuck with a transition. When I pulled up the existing vinyl flooring I saw vinyl tile, and around the toilet it was not adhered at all. Under the vinyl tile was the OSB that had apparently been receiving water (my guess, from the pattern, was a neglected tank leak) for many months at some point before we bought the house 20 years ago. It was rather thoroughly rotted - fortunately I had recently bought an N100 respirator - but the remains were still glued to the subfloor. I used an entire 50 lb bag of leveling cement to get it and the affected surroundings filled. I understand it has its place, but in the vicinity of water it seems out of place.

Ya, cement board would be better over the plywood in a wet zone.

@worstuserever 2 года назад

I always learn something from your material studies, Ethan, thank you. Before really starting to get into woodworking, I had a lot of home repairs to deal with and discovered 18mm OSB as an inexpensive option for replacing broken floorboards. Appearance didn't matter as there was nothing special about the original wooden boards and it was all to be covered. The only drawback is where an obstruction, such as a pipe I'm not ready to move, sits high under the boards. For these I use solid wood as I can cut a groove to accommodate, finding that weakens OSB too much.

@flagmichael 2 года назад

I had a very bad experience with OSB glued to the plywood subfloor under a toilet. A water leak destroyed the OSB and I had no choice but to fill the area with self-leveling cement.

@Unaveragetrainguy 2 года назад

Thanks for your take; it basically confirms mine, and I don't generally like this material. As you said, Builders like it because it's cheaper. (I say) enduring, quality homes are not made with this material. As you kind of said: OSB works so long as moisture doesn't enter into the system. I say: when it does, such as inside a wall, failure really problematic, and it's typically late -discovered. And frankly, it's really, really hard to keep all moisture out of the building system whether at construction, or over the years. Even after a decade or two of service (if it gets that far), it is truly undesirable to have to deal with OSB failure in a building. I do a lot of renovation in my practice and OSB/moisture related failure is some of the nastiest. Similarly, for DIY projects, you would want consider whether enduring quality matters to your application.

@flagmichael 2 года назад

I recently replaced the flooring in much of my house, including the master bath. I found the plywood subfloor of the bathroom had 1/4 inch OSB glued on top. When I got the toilet up I saw why: water had leaked under the toilet base, probably from a tank leak, and wicked into the OSB for about a foot on every side, turning it into black mold. (Fortunately, I had bought an N100 respirator just before that.) I had no choice but to entomb it in self-leveling cement. If you can find a way of waterproofing it I have no objection, but that misadventure is still fresh in my mind.
