OSB3 Oriental strand board.
Compared with MDF, chipboard, and other plywood alternatives, OSB trades a smooth surface for far greater mechanical strength, achieved by using longer, cross-oriented wood strands.
The term OSB/3 refers to the classification in BS EN 300, meaning load-bearing boards suitable for use in humid conditions. In this context, “humid” describes environments where the boards are protected from direct weather exposure but may experience increased moisture levels due to higher humidity.
