The 22mm OSB SmartPly Cut to Size service delivers OSB 3 board panels precision-cut to your exact measurements. Order the sizes you need, reduce waste on site and speed up installation. SmartPly engineers this board from responsibly sourced timber with low-emission resins, so you get dependable load-bearing strength, moisture resistance and dimensional stability with a smooth surface that fixes and finishes cleanly.
Many builders choose a 22mm OSB board when they need maximum stiffness and strength for floors or frameworks, especially in high-load areas where thinner sheets are not suitable.
- Firstly, 22mm thickness provides robust structural performance for floors, roofs and walls.
- Next, custom cutting means panels arrive ready to fix—no on-site sawing or extra dust.
- Additionally, a smooth, consistent surface accepts screws, nails and adhesives and paints well.
- Finally, great value offers plywood-like performance at a lower price.
Choose 22mm for structural floor decking, roof sarking, timber-frame and wall sheathing, sheds and garden buildings, site hoardings, storage units, worktops, shelving and other heavy-duty joinery. Because the panels are pre-cut, small teams can complete larger areas with fewer joints and less waste. his makes a 22mm OSB board ideal for demanding structural and load-bearing applications.
Enter width × length for each piece and add the quantity. If you’re fitting into a frame or rebate, allow for clearances and expansion gaps. Need help optimising your cut list? Send the dimensions and we’ll suggest an efficient panel layout.
Before fixing, acclimatise sheets on site. Then leave the recommended expansion gaps, and finally seal cut or exposed edges in wet zones. The board accepts wood screws, ring-shank nails and common construction adhesives. As practical guidance, many installers use 150 mm centres on supported edges and 300 mm in the field, with 3 mm between boards and 10 mm at perimeters. Always follow your designer’s specification and current building regulations.
SmartPly sources fast-growing timber from responsibly managed forests. Consequently, you reduce environmental impact without sacrificing strength, flatness or consistency. Choosing a 22mm OSB board from a sustainable source supports both structural reliability and environmental responsibility.

1. What is 22mm OSB SmartPly Cut to Size used for?
Typical jobs include structural floors, roof decking, wall sheathing, sheds, worktops, hoardings and heavy-duty carpentry.
2. Is 22mm suitable for structural flooring?
Yes—22mm is commonly specified for heavily loaded floor decking. Always follow your designer’s span and fixing requirements.
3. Can I use it outside?
Use it behind cladding or beneath a weathering layer. Do not leave OSB exposed to the weather long-term.
4. How accurate is the cut?
Panels are machine-cut for clean edges and consistent sizing. Provide final finished dimensions and allow for expansion where required.
5. How do I fix the boards?
Use screws or ring-shank nails. A common pattern is 150 mm on edges and 300 mm in the field, plus 3 mm between boards and 10 mm at walls.
6. Is it moisture resistant?
Yes. As an OSB3 panel it performs in humid environments when installed correctly; however, protect it from direct, prolonged wetting.
7. Do you deliver cut panels?
Yes—enter your sizes at checkout and we’ll cut and deliver to your site or home. For lead times and charges, see Delivery & Collection.
