was first commercialized on a large scale
by LP over two decades ago.
Roof, wall and two layer
floor applications.
Available in standard
4' x 8' size. Sizes 4' x 9'
and 4' x 10', and over-

SPECIFICATIONS
LP manufactures OSB sheathing using
a truly renewable building material,
manufactured from a sustainable resource.
This means enhanced performance comes
from our engineering innovations not
from the size or type of trees used. So
builders and homeowners can be confident
that theyre choosing products made in an
environmentally smart way.
An innovative building material.
Improved design for easy application.
Years ago contractors asked LP for a
more durable sheathing. And LP listened.
Our engineers developed a formula for
increased strength, stability and moisture
resistance. We then added an advanced
ACI

coating that penetrates the edges to

keep swelling to a minimum. Today, LP
engineered wood sheathing is a well-
known industry success. There are a lot
of reasons why:
Excellent moisture tolerance exhibits
none of the stress characteristics of
veneer-based boards which can lead to
distortion, splitting and delamination.
Excellent dimensional stability in a
wide variety of environmental conditions.
Consistent quality not dependent on
the character of an individual log.
Easy to install nailing lines, skid-resistant
surface and easy to saw.
Excellent fastener holding resists
splitting even when nailed close to
panel edge.
Pre-marked nailing lines to make
installation fast and easy on walls or roofs.
Skid-resistant surface provides better
traction on the job site.
A better alternative to plywood.
Backed by a 20-year limited warranty.
