Things to check before you order

OSB or plywood?

OSB3 is usually cheaper and fine for most structural decking in humid conditions. Plywood is stiffer, takes fixings near edges better and performs better where it may get wet.

Cutting MDF safely

MDF dust is fine; cut with extraction and wear suitable respiratory protection.

Planning the drop in Hythe

Sheets come in packs on the lorry bed, crane-lifted or hand-offloaded. Hythe is inside our standard mainland delivery area.

• In summer Hythe gets around 16h 31m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
• Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.
• Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.

Quantities: a worked example

Decking 30 m² with 2440 × 1220 mm sheets takes 12 sheets including 10% for cutting. In P5 chipboard flooring (2400 × 600 mm) the same floor takes 23 boards.

OSB, MDF & Chipboard questions

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Hythe?

There is no fixed minimum. For very small orders we will tell you honestly if the delivery cost outweighs the materials, so you can decide.

What is OSB3?

OSB3 is oriented strand board graded for load-bearing use in humid conditions under BS EN 300. It is the common grade for floors, roofs and sheathing.

Can OSB get wet?

OSB3 copes with humid conditions and short exposure during construction, but it should not be left in the rain for long or used where it stays wet.

Can you deliver OSB, MDF and chipboard to a site with restricted access in Hythe?

Usually, yes. Tell us about the access when you ask for a price and we will plan the vehicle and offload, or say if a smaller vehicle is needed.
