OSB-plate: application and characteristics

Construction - this is not an area that allows technological stagnation. In particular, it is for this reason that construction technologies have recently undergone significant changes, accumulating all the technical expertise that has been obtained by industry. A good example is the OSB-plate. Its application is truly multifaceted: this material is used not only in construction, but even in the furniture industry.

Recently, in our country, developers as if announced a competition to reduce costs in the construction of residential buildings. The Europeans, who have long practiced the construction of sandwich panels, turned out to be very opportunely. The cost of ready-made buildings was even more cheap due to the fact that a moisture-resistant OSB-plate, the price of which is relatively low, is already produced in our country. The production uses only high-quality materials, so it's clearly not worth worrying about the strength of the resulting structures.

It must be said that the OSB-slabs are not used in construction in their own right, since they make sip panels. This is a kind of "sandwich", with the edges of which are usual chipboard panels, and in the center is expanded polystyrene or foam, playing the role of thermal insulation. Despite the thickness of only 20 cm, such a plate perfectly preserves heat even in conditions of our uneasy climate.

Using them, you can save a lot of money on building a house without sacrificing its quality. In addition, this construction takes only a couple of days. In short, OSB-stove, the characteristics of which speak for themselves, is an excellent choice when building a country cottage.

Very good this material has proved itself in low-rise construction. It should be said that Western technologies provide for the possibility of erecting houses in two or three floors, but it is better not to experiment in our climate. But as a foundation in this case, you can use conventional and extremely cheap columnar designs. Given that the OSB-plate (the application of which it proved) is a very light material, the pressure on the ground is minimal. Of course, it is still better to pour a monolithic pillow on the undergrowth soils, since the advantages of the SIP panels can not prevent deformation of the building.

An important difference of this material is the absolute evenness of the walls being erected, as well as their striking resistance to environmental influences. In particular, the OSB-plate (the application of which has confirmed this) does not need painting, and if desired, the siding takes away just a couple of days, since it can be fastened directly to the wall without using a crate.

Production of OSB-panels is deployed in many large cities of our country, so if you want, you can order even a large batch, saving your money even more. Note that when ordering, pay special attention to the quality of the packaging material and the state of its surface. If there are any damages and chips, it is better to refuse the purchase.

As you can see, do not be afraid of houses, which are based on the OSB-slab. Its application in various climatic zones has convincingly shown that they are extremely durable and durable.
