OSB, MDF & Chipboard: choosing well

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.

• If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.
• Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
• Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.

Common questions from Whitstable

How soon can OSB, MDF and chipboard be delivered in Whitstable?

We confirm the delivery date when we price your order, before you commit. It depends on the product, the quantity and whether it is a stock line or made to order.

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.

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

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

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.
