What are the differences between plywood and oriented strand board?

Plywood and OSB are both commonly used materials in furniture manufacturing, but they have certain differences in performance, so many customers who have no experience in the construction field often get confused. Next, let’s talk to you about the specific differences between plywood and oriented strand board .

Oriented strand board, also called OSB board, is made of wood raw materials peeled and impurities processed into thin flat shavings with uniform specifications through professional equipment. After drying, measuring, sizing and other processes, the shavings are crisscrossed and laid out layer by layer. , a man-made panel formed by hot pressing at high temperature. It is worth mentioning that the OSB board uses formaldehyde-free MDI glue during the production process, and does not release formaldehyde and other harmful substances. It is a green board that can protect the safety and environmental protection of the home environment.

Plywood is an engineered wood board material. It is a three-layer or multi-layer board made of wood sections that are rotary cut into veneers or planed into thin wood and bonded by applying adhesive. The number of layers of this board is generally an odd number, and a group of veneers is usually assembled and glued perpendicularly to each other according to the direction of the wood grain of adjacent layers. The surface layer and the inner layer are symmetrical. The board can be hot-pressed or not when formed.

Plywood has a large format, uniform material, is not easy to warp and deform, has high static bending strength, has good screw-holding strength and impact resistance, and is usually used as a building structural material. OSB board has a small linear expansion coefficient, good dimensional stability, high screw holding force, symmetrical and smooth surface, strong deformation resistance, and easy processing. It can be used not only in the field of construction and decoration, but also as a customized furniture material.

The above is an introduction to the differences between plywood and OSB. Different boards have their own unique advantages. You can choose according to your actual needs! However, if it is a whole house custom decoration, it is recommended to use Jianowei log sliced OSB. This board has excellent dimensional stability, nail-holding load-bearing capacity, anti-deformation ability and safety and environmental protection. The quality of the finished product has reached the highest national standards ENF level!
