OSB-plate: application and characteristics

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

The last time in our country, developers likewould have announced a competition to reduce costs in the construction of residential buildings. The Europeans, who have been practicing the construction of sandwich panels for a long time, have turned up very opportunely. The cost of finished 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 there is clearly no need to worry about the strength of the resulting structures.

It must be said that the OSB-plates themselves areconstruction is not used, because of them do sip panels. This is a kind of "sandwich", with the edges of which are ordinary 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 difficult climate.

Using them, you can save a lot of moneyon the construction of the house, without sacrificing at the same time 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 proved itself inlow-rise construction. Need to say that Western technology provides for the possibility of erecting houses in two or three floors, but in our climate it is better not to experiment. But as a foundation in this case, you can use the usual 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 SIP panels can not prevent deformation of the building.

An important difference of this material isabsolute evenness of the erected walls, 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 just a couple of days off, since it can be fastened directly to the wall without using a crate.

The production of OSB panels is deployed in manylarge cities of our country, so that 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.
