Abstract:

Louisiana-Pacific Corporation proprietary OSB facers are 7/16 Performance Category panel sheathing that can be used as facers of structural insulated panels (SIPs) when manufactured to a proprietary mill specification documented in the in-plant manufacturing standard and approved by APA. In addition to the requirements for PS 2, the proprietary OSB facers meet the higher properties specified in Table R610.3.2 of the 2015 IRC, Table R613.3.2 of the 2012 IRC and 2009 IRC, and Table 2 of ANSI/APA PRS 610.1, as shown in Section 3 of this report. The properties of the proprietary OSB facers are quality-controlled on an on-going basis
