Getting the right OSB, MDF and chipboard

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.

Which flooring?

P5 chipboard flooring is the standard moisture-resistant floor deck. 18 mm is common at 400 mm joist centres and 22 mm at 600 mm centres, but follow the maker's span table.

Sizing your order

Decking 18 m² with 2440 × 1220 mm sheets takes 7 sheets including 10% for cutting. In P5 chipboard flooring (2400 × 600 mm) the same floor takes 14 boards.

How delivery works in Southport

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

• In summer Southport gets around 17h 04m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
• If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
• If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.

Common questions from Southport

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.

Is MDF waterproof?

No. Moisture-resistant MDF handles humid rooms better than standard MDF but must still be sealed and kept out of direct water.

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Southport?

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.

Do you deliver OSB, MDF and chipboard to trades and homeowners in Southport?

Both. Trades can apply for a trade account; homeowners and self-builders can order on a delivered quote.
