K-plywood = OSB ???

[lano]

Hello!
Does anyone know if OSB is considered K-plywood? If not, what is K-plywood?

 

[MathiasS]

OSB is OSB and plywood is plywood. Konstruktionsplyfa I guess is just a higher quality of plywood?

Unlike regular plywood and OSB, K-plywood is strength graded (P40, P30, and P20).

Unlike regular plywood and OSB, K-plywood is strength-graded (P40, P30, and P20).

yeah, that's probably what I thought.

And then it's probably not only graded but also twice as expensive as regular plywood.

OK, thanks for the answers!

Plyfa is a type of plywood while OSB is coarsely chopped wood chips.

OSB can be broken relatively easily, whereas plywood is not easily broken.

I believe that plywood can be classified as puncture-resistant while OSB is not.

If you step through plywood, they'll probably have to saw you loose, while it will be a real hole in OSB, according to a builder I've talked to.
