panel type in the United States since it

was first commercialized on a large scale

by LP over two decades ago.

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 they’re 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 – exhibitsnone of the stress characteristics ofveneer-based boards which can lead todistortion, splitting and delamination.

• Excellent dimensional stability – in awide variety of environmental conditions.

• Consistent quality – not dependent onthe character of an individual log.

• Easy to install – nailing lines, skid-resistantsurface 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 bettertraction on the job site.

• A better alternative to plywood.

• Backed by a 20-year limited warranty.
