Best board for value for money

 64% of builders say that value for money is one of the best features of SterlingOSB

The price of SterlingOSB- also known as Sterlingboard- compared with plywood, is one of the main reasons a builder will use it according to a research project by Circle Research which polled UK builders. The average price of 18mm SterlingOSB is 24.6% lower than that of softwood plywood.

What is SterlingOSB?

SterlingOSB is a very strong, multi-layered timber product which is very different from plywood. Instead of being made from alternate sheets of veneerplaced at 90 degrees to each other, it is made from layering strands of wood in specific orientations and then bonding the layers with a resin.  Being produced in Scotland from local, sustainable, FSC-accredited timber and produced to the criteria of the environmental standard ISO 14401, SterlingOSB can be employed with confidence when environmental credentials are demanded.

Norbord, one of the world's leading manufacturers of engineered wood-based panels, now produces six types of SterlingOSB - SterlingOSB2, Sterling OSB3, SterlingOSB T&G, SterlingOSB Roofdek, SterlingOSB Sitecoat and a range of three new SterlingOSB fire solutions.
