SterlingOSB is designed to perform. Its strength is down to the tens of thousands of strands of real wood that go into each and every board. This precision engineered board is the natural successor to softwood plywood. No knots. No voids. No debates. SterlingOSB is made from smaller logs, usually from the small trees that are removed to allow the bigger trees in the forest room to grow. Forest thinning improves growth and sustainability of plants, trees and wildlife. The logs are cut to length, debarked and processed into precise strands averaging 120mm long and 25mm wide. The strands are dried, blended with resin binder and wax. The strands are laid in cross directional layers in a precisely oriented fashion. These form a large continuous mat. The cross directional forming of the strands gives SterlingOSB its increased strength. The resulting mat passes through a high heat and pressure press resulting in uniform and high quality panels that are then cooled and cut to size. Throughout this highly automated and fully engineered process, panels are monitored and tested to meet stringent quality standards.
