You are completely correct. My flooring during construction got soaked multiple times and my osb only became discolord when i used a tarp nothing else happened. Praise G-d

[@armychris9148]

Nothing beats 3/4 plywood

[@John-Rambo81]

If your floor gets wet, scrape the high spots and seal it. Good as new.

[@daleon96]

Don't scrape it...sand it

[@PhillyFixed]

Its important to differentiate between "Exposure 1" rated OSB and standard OSB. Home builders use stuff like Advantech or LP Legacy that are specifically made with resins and "exterior glue" to withstand water until the house is dried in. Those products carry a watranty accordingly. Standard everyday subfloor OSB won't necessarily have the same glue/resins as those other products.

[@jameskelly2777]

Have to disagree with this one osb swells and deforms when wet. If you checkout any prefab shed when the siding is removed you will know this material does not hold up to water.

[@daleon96]

Depends what type you use, if you use OSB type 3 it's made for humid and wet areas... What you're talking about is when people use the wrong type for a certain applications... I've never had a problem with it when used correctly

[@simoncorriere8209]

For subfloor plywood doesn’t even compare to osb in water resistance and strength

[@johnjames535]

@@simoncorriere8209osb doesn’t compare??? What do you mean, plywood is used for subfloor if you’re a serious contractor.

[@BEvans7]

I find that OSB has random weak spots vs plywood. Plywood is consistent in its construction vs OSB were no to pieces are the same. There was OSM on my bathroom floor and the toilet rocked so had to reinforce under the toilet or rip up the OSB and put plywood down. We used to use 3/4 plywood on floor now it 9/16 OSB. Cheaper isn't ever better, you only get what you pay for.

[@ryanepps771]

AGREED! CDX is OK, but it FEELS higher quality. Nope, just more expensive. Lol

[@stephenn3938]

Cdx is much better always has always will but now it's so pricy

[@notavailable.000]

plywood., ive seen particle board plump and crumble. i would not use it for subfloor ever. maybe for some internal wall. bit nothing external

[@user-yi8pf8on6w]

Can you adhere drystack ledger panel directly onto OSB using gorilla HD construction adhesive?? Each "panel" weighs 5.5lbs

Last week fire sprinkler went off osb floor is a little warped and fraying ,how to find out if it is still good

[@gtm9755]

Can you use 3/4” plywood as a backer board?

[@philibeansor5843]

With all the plywood is supporting- why not use marine grade plywood- when you have $10-15,000 remodel, sitting on it-😮-

[@BlueCollarSlave]

The ply distributes the load to the joist, and so on. Weight isnt a concern here, youd have a bunch of weight in a 12x12 inch space to see any deflection or give assuming 16" spacing between joists.

[@philibeansor5843]

@@BlueCollarSlave It’s about- not delaminating and outlasting the successive DIY remodeling fads over and over.

[@BlueCollarSlave]

@philibeansor5843 if it makes you feel better do whatever you wish. But taking a job on customers budget won't allow for spending unwarranted $. If you can't dry-in a bathroom your over your head anyhow? *opinions are like assholes, how's mine look? 😆🤌 It was the first part of your comment that made me think you were talking about weight, and expensive material on top. Just to clarify👍

[@philibeansor5843]

@@BlueCollarSlave I’m sorry, I did my bathroom remodel just before 9-11, used marine grade plywood, after routing a tongue and groove. It was about $150 more than conventional plywood, I thought it was money well spent. Just kinda taken back by your rude comment, perhaps offering your annus for examination hasn’t been the best choice only secondary to being ~~~~~mommy’s~~~~~~ 😂little basement dweller😂

[@BlueCollarSlave]

@philibeansor5843 hilarious to assume. You know what that means. I've got 3 kids my girl and 2 dogs we own our home. What was that? 🤡

[@fooflateka]

what about VoCs????

[@gerardvandenberg7961]

OSB 1 ..2 or 3 ??

[@rubykennedymedia]

I'm on a major budget and have to replace my floors in the next year in my mobile home. This seems a good choice?

[@Glamchick94]

I just bought a house with what I’m guessing is OSB for walls in the garage, but it’s so dirty in there. How do I wash without ruining it?

[@BathroomRemodelingTeacher]

Quite a bit honestly. If it gets too wet all it does is swell at edges a little. Just put this vinyl floor in my home office studio above garage. (Didn’t have a roof for 4 months when building it, osb was saturated) kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYOwiWVpj7mFpJYsi=3_4vjj8Mzi47TwjE

[@larryames8831]

Strange thinking?

[@John-Rambo81]

Great video! 😃

[@giorgostuva3293]

Why don't you use concrete or concrete slabs?
