The main advantages of the OSB slab roofing are reliability, cheapness, attractive appearance( wood) OSB slabs, among a variety of materials for filing the ceiling, a fairly new material. OSB plates have been used recently, but the material has already managed to gain popularity. How correctly to perform a ceiling filing with the help of OSB?

OSB for ceiling: thickness, variation
Optimum option - 1,5-2 centimeters. It also depends on the material from which the ceiling is made and whether a separate layer of heat-insulating materials( or sound insulation, basalt fiber) will be mounted from above.
The plate itself has far from the best performance in terms of protecting the premises from the cold. However, it is resistant to moisture. Accordingly, you can choose the most subtle variations.
If an additional finish is to be mounted on top, then the thickness of the OSB-plate can be taken even less than 0.5 centimeters, although such are on sale extremely rarely.
The OSB ceiling can be made with a wood plate with a thickness of 0.5 to 3 centimeters. Disadvantages of thin OSB boards:
- poor moisture resistance;
- low critical load;
- is not suitable for bathrooms where there is constantly increased moisture;
- is not suitable, if you plan to also mount spotlights or other integrated lighting equipment.
How to sew the ceiling of the OSB with your own hands
It's quite easy to sew the ceiling from the OSB with your own hands. As the main fastener will use self-tapping screws or liquid nails( can be replaced with polyurethane adhesive).Preliminary processing of wood panels is not necessary.
Although, if it is planned to install them in a production room, it is recommended to perform the priming treatment all the same, to prevent the appearance of rot, mold, damage to the filing of insects. For these purposes, the most common drying oil, or solvents with a mixture of furniture lacquer, is suitable. Priming is generally recommended in several layers, allowing each of them to dry.
How correctly to make a hem file if it is planned to level the level?It is recommended to mount a metal frame from aluminum profiles( crate) and already on them to fasten the plates to the desired level with a given indentation.
It is not recommended to align on profiles that are fixed along the perimeter( that is, along the profile that is already laid along the wall), since the permissible mechanical load on the OSB is relatively low. That is, with a room width of 3 or more meters over time, there will necessarily be a sag.
You will need self-tapping screws or liquid nails for fixing the ceiling with OSB boards with your own hands. What can you do with all this from above? The most popular options:
- liquid wallpaper;
- water-based paint;
- with decorative plaster;
- with plasterboard panels;
- polystyrene tiles.
And you can completely abandon the cladding, and leaving open lacquered OSB slabs. True, this option is unlikely to look attractive in a residential area, not to mention the apartments.
Tips how to mount the OSB to the ceiling
Mount the wood OSB slabs to the base of the ceiling is best on the glue base or with screws with recessed hats( with a minimum thickness).More often repair crews use liquid nails. Only before this, the adhesive base of the rough ceiling must be completely cleaned of the old finish. Ideal - with the help of a jet steam generator. With its help, even the old painted paint is easily removed.
The paneling can be fastened with the following methods:
- on the metal profile( suspension version);
- on anchors or dowels;
- on decorative eaves( wood plates simply inserted into the grooves and so on and then hold);
The paneling can be mounted on a wooden crate( it is considered the best option, as it allows to assemble a thermal insulation layer, and add noise insulation to the voids between the beams) Which option to choose for this or that house?Depends solely on your financial capabilities.
Ideal - profile or wooden crate. But nobody forbids each plate to hold on dowels( under a tree).Only few will need such options, except for production facilities.
How to install the OSB on the ceiling
Immediately before installation, it is necessary to measure the area of the ceiling over which the wood plate will be laid. The standard width of each OSB panel is 1.5 or 2 meters. Cutting should be done as a last resort. If the installation is done on the crate, then the slabs should be fixed perpendicular to the laid beams. That is, if they keep to the width, then the OSB is fixed in length.
The main thing is to prevent those options when the seams and laths of the already installed false ceiling completely coincide.
Cutting OSB boards should only be performed as a last resort. It will be better if the structure of the material is not violated For faster mounting, you can use:
- pneumatic gun;
- construction stapler( with strong staples that penetrate to a depth of at least 1 centimeter behind the OSB slab);
- rivet-dowels.
If you use a stapler, then remember that the length of the staples should match the thickness of the OSB with the addition of 1 centimeter.
Ceiling from OSB slabs and its finish: variants
Finish for OSB slabs can be used in a manner similar to that used for all wood substrates. Optimum option - staining or plaster( with a mandatory primer layer).It is not forbidden to use vinyl wallpaper, just take into account the textured surface of the OSB.
It is also possible to use a foam tile with a thread. In general, it is possible to attach the basis of the lathe varnish to the adhesive - this will be quite enough.
If decorative plaster is used, then the one that belongs to the class of embossed plasters should be preferred. They cost such inexpensive, and the choice in the consumer market is very huge.
MDF panels are an inexpensive and highly attractive material for ceiling lining that will perfectly replace OSB Total, with regard to the finish of , the following materials are recommended( in the recommended order):
- MDF panels;
- foam and its derivatives;
- decorative thin-layered plaster;
- coatings of the "multicolor" type;
- tension film;
- liquid or non-woven wallpaper;
- water-based paint( although it is also possible to apply a "rubber" paint).
It's better to trust a professional designer who will compare the proposed finish with the already created interior design of a particular room.
Are the OSB plates reliable?In principle, in durability they are inferior to both plasterboard and plastics. But with proper care( priming at least once every 5 years), they will serve for more than a dozen years. It should also be mentioned that there are wax or paraffin in the OSB panels, which absorb and neutralize unpleasant smells like sponges. That's why they are recommended to be fastened, for example, in the kitchen.

Total, installation of OSB slabs on the ceiling with your own hands is quite a simple task, which even the one who is far from construction subjects has not even held a hammer in hands before. And what's more important - the ceiling can not be spoiled with this material. It will be a little more difficult if you install wood plates on a lathing or metal profile, but here it is not difficult to understand.
