OSB board for the base board is better OSB2 grade or OSB3 grade
Dec 02, 2023
Osb board is graded, the common is OSB2 grade and OSB3 grade, OSB2 grade is mostly decorative board, OSB3 grade is mostly structural base plate. Now in the decoration project, the decorative board is often used for the base board, which is very wrong, and can not achieve the proper moisture proof effect of the base and spend more money. Domestic Oolong board in environmental protection, moistureproof and other comprehensive performance is not very suitable for demanding home improvement, so the imported Oolong board is concerned, the basic situation is as follows.
Domestic large decoration companies or dedicated to villa decoration professional decoration companies generally choose the OSB board as the base, and is an imported OSB board, with the German AG company OSB2 grade made in Germany, there are also some Romanian AG, and the rest of the foreign many small and medium-sized enterprises produced Oolong board imported into the domestic market sales. However, there are not many OSB3 grade markets that are really suitable for the base plate, of which more OSB3 grade boards are now used in the US LP company's Brazilian factory of OSB3, while there are also LP-OSB2 grade decorative boards in the domestic market, LP-OSB2 is not resistant to moisture, and there will be mold. This situation should attract the special attention of decoration companies and owners.
The above German OSB2 and LP Brazilian OSB3 environmental protection is no problem, are used environmentally friendly aldehyde free adhesive, please rest assured in this respect. But the more detailed difference is that the German AIGER OSB2 is not a waterproof environmental adhesive, while the LP Brazilian OSB3 is an environmentally friendly water and moisture resistant adhesive. In addition, the OSB3 grade itself is a popular base plate for its moisture resistance and high structural strength and nail grip.
Is the OSB2 or OSB3 in your project? Please check it carefully. OSB2 is expensive, but the surface of the plate is more beautiful than OSB3, and it is more used for decorative panels, but the moisture resistance and strength including the density of the board are not as good as OSB3. Base plate, ceiling, whole house assembly and other basic treatment requirements, OSB3 is more suitable for you, the price is cheaper than OSB2, more importantly, OSB3 is more suitable for base plate.
