Why OSB boards cannot be “put” on glue during wall sheathing

At the moment, oriented chipboard is a functional material that can be used in a wide variety of finishing works. In the manufacturing process, wood chips, shavings are used, and these components are glued between yourself using a special composition in several layers, in order to create high-quality and reliable material. And recently, it’s the OSB that many builders prefer, while chipboard is not so interested in consumers.

Where are OSB boards used?

Before lining the walls with this material, it is worth exploring all the varieties and highlighting the main advantages. The main types:

1. 1 class. This is a great option for rooms with a low level of humidity.
2. 2 Type. This is the right solution for dry rooms and an excellent choice for construction work.
3. 3 type. Used in a room with a high level of humidity.
4. 4 type. It is often used for cladding structures that withstand severe mechanical loads. And also here we can talk about a high level of humidity.

Scope of application

Today it is one of the most sought after materials. This is primarily due to the fact that the plate allows you to hide almost any surface defect. In addition, even with time, the plate does not deform and does not shrink.

In general, today it is often the walls in the room that are sheathed, and here there are a lot of installation methods. And by the way, many are still arguing that OSB or drywall is better? In the process of interior finishing work in the room, everyone prefers the first option.

If we talk about installation, then many say that in the process, you can do with glue, but is that so? If on the surface of the wall there are small defects and height differences of not more than 4 millimeters, then for leveling will be the best option for a slab of 9 millimeters and before installation it is necessary to process the surface primer. It is best to purchase and prepare glue on a rubber basis, apply it on the back side it is possible with a spatula, but at the same time it is worth finally fixing the OSB with a dowel, only glue will be clearly few. At the end of the work, it is worthwhile to carefully seal the joints between the plates and here an acrylic-based sealant is used. In general, not many people prefer glue, it is better to use proven methods of fixation.
