About OSB plate 3 (CAP 3)

My husband and I are building a frame house. And in the process of construction arose the question of covering the walls. Since the frame structure in our city is not common, accounted for by the search for information.

Having examined the information on frame technology, our choice was on the plates OSB 3 (CAP 3) 9mm (can be different from 8 mm to 21 mm.) Production in Canada. Size, we took a European, 2500 mm x 1250 m, there are American Standard - 2440 mm x 1240 mm. As part of the calculation step counters do under the sizes of plates, it is not unimportant information.


From the manufacturer's recommendations:
Sheathing exterior and interior walls and partitions - having high strength characteristics and resistance to deformation, OSB-3 board can be used with all types of internal and external cladding coatings;
Reason for roofing (solid roof purlins) - good sound absorption and high stiffness, as well as the ability to withstand significant snow and wind loads can be successfully used OSB-3 as a basis for concrete tiles, metal tile, slate and other roofing materials;
Flooring-1 (including rough floors) - a strong, tough and impact-resistant OSB-3 used in the construction industry for the creation of the bearing surfaces (this can be a solid floor, and carrying logs);
Flooring-2 (including single-layer floor) - in the light structures of OSB-3 can be directly used as a floor covering: slab simply rose above the linoleum or carpet, easy self-leveling concrete mix or the floorboards;

Here is a versatile material, but from my own experience - boards really liked the work. The material is very easy to use, easy to cut with a manual circular saw. Nailed to the frame plate screw nails. Since the outside this year do not plan to close the OSB, sections were stained with ink slabs.
