OSB is a popular material in the field of frame construction. It is inexpensive, holds fasteners well and has light weight, is resistant to short-term exposure to moisture (rain. Dew. Fog). However, it also has drawbacks. OSB is practically no different from an ordinary tree, which is characterized by rotting and infection by fungi. Therefore, the OSB surface must be treated with bioprotective agents.

OSB stands for Oriented Chipboard. What does it mean? The wood shavings included in the composition have a different orientation in the slab. OSB production involves gluing several layers of chips with resin and other substances. Different orientation of the chips forms bumps on the material. It is difficult to process the resulting surface due to the fact that the adhesives included in the composition repel any paint or protective agents.
This problem is familiar to anyone who has decided to paint the OSB board with regular paint. After a year, you have to paint the surface again. Plain paint does not protect the plate from decay and the effects of fungi. Often mold "eats" OSB in just a couple of years. The fungus, spread under a layer of paint, can destroy the material and bring a lot of problems to the owner. This is just wasted money.
Wood preservatives are not suitable for application to OSB boards, as they are not absorbed, but are eroded from the surface. Choosing this option, you will not get an effective result and spend a lot of money!
How to paint the OSB plate? Is there a special paint for this material?

One of a kind paint Soppka, created to cover OSB oriented particle board. It not only fits easily onto a complex surface, but also has unique advantages:

Application features
Soppka paint is used to paint OSB boards, SIP panels, plywood and other lumber. It has a high degree of concealment, applied with a regular brush or roller.
The optimum effect is achieved when coating in 3 layers. Material consumption is 350 grams per square meter. To provide 100% protection against biological effects, paint should be coated with new material that was not exposed to microorganisms, moisture, and precipitation. It is possible to use paint as a temporary solution.
If you are considering finishing the finished house or collecting a sum of money for siding, imitation timber and other expensive options to “preserve” the facade, use an inexpensive, but effective solution - Soppka paint.
to contents ↑Why is bioprotection and fire protection necessary?
Everyone is accustomed to considering the OSB slab as a material that does not require any additional processing. However, when burning, it releases harmful substances and can cause strangulation, smoke. Soppka paint forms a special intumescent layer when exposed to fire, thereby significantly slowing down combustion.
Bioprotection is due to the fungicidal additives that make up its composition. If the house is built for a family with children, you should definitely take care of OSB processing. If you save money and do not process the wood, you may encounter rotting, an unpleasant odor, and the formation of mold over time. As a result, allergic reactions may develop among residents of the house, and “weak spots” will appear in the walls, ceiling or on the floor.
to contents ↑Fachwerk-style facade decoration
Beams, tilted at different angles, form a frame, and the space between them is filled with wood or brickwork. This style of facade is characteristic of European countries. He came to us from Germany. Fans of exclusive solutions can take advantage of the idea and bring to life an interesting project. For the facade you will need ordinary OSB boards, insulation and directly imitation half-timbered - boards.
This style is a necessary measure, since the joints of OSB boards are treated with sealant and it can even be seen through paint. To hide ugly joints, use boards or bars. Boards imitating fachwerk should be painted in a contrasting (darker) color.
