Description
18mm OSB flooring with Tongue and Groove profiling is versatile, BBA approved and water-resistant timber panel suitable for load-bearing roofing and flooring applications in dry and humid conditions in both domestic and commercial use.
18mm OSB tongue and groove boards are suitable and widely used in structural (manufactured in accordance with EN 13986) and interior applications, such as:
- Load bearing roofing & flooring applications
- Hoarding
- Wall sheathing
The main principle of the Tongue and Groove edged boards is in the panel features, where each sheet consists of a ‘tongue’ edge and precisely sized gap ‘groove’. During installation, the tongue slots into a groove, making the application extremely easy. For extra security, the planks can be glued or held with screws or nails – this method is known as ‘secret nailing’.
