Arbec 7/16″ OSB (Oriented Strand Board) sheathing is a structural engineered wood panel, typically in 4’x8′ sheets, used for roof decking, wall sheathing, and sub-flooring. It features heat-cured, waterproof adhesives, high-strength wood strands, and an edge seal to reduce moisture intrusion. It offers high dimensional stability and superior, consistent quality with no core voids.
Key Features and Specifications:
Dimensions: 7/16-inch thickness, standard 4 ft. x 8 ft. panels.
Performance: Suitable for structural load-bearing applications in residential and commercial projects.
Structure: Composed of cross-oriented layers of wood strands for strength.
