Oriented strand board or OSB is a cheaper alternative to solid boards.The material is made using strands or flakes of wood glued together using a special resin. The bonded wooden flakes form a strong piece of wooden board that can be used for a variety of purposes.The wood used in the manufacture of oriented strand board comes from fast-growing trees such as poplar and aspen. The wooden material is cut into strands, dried and bound together. The only difference would be the way they are manufactured and the price on the market. Most of the time, OSB is a lot cheaper than plywood. Below are some of the best uses of oriented strand boards.
