Plywood vs. OSB in Hardwood
Flooring Inlays Installations
This
article analyzes the two types of supports used in hardwood floor inlays
installations.
To equal the thickness difference between the inlays (usually worked in
thicknesses of 6 to 10 mm - 1/4 - 3/8 in.) and the 20-21 mm thick
parquet flooring (or the USA or Canada 3/4 in. thick hardwood flooring)
two types of supports can be used: the plywood or the OSB. In the image
above the two materials are presented in a close view with short
explanations over. For various engineered flooring types today the Birch
plywood is used as support. The OSB is used most frequently in some
countries. Our inlays are delivered with plywood as support.
