How It's Made
LP® SolidStart® Rim Board is made from two substrates to meet a variety of building needs: OSB and LSL.
- OSB: Thermal-set, waterproof adhesives and wood strands are bonded, cross-directionally layered, and then pressed under extreme heat and pressure.
- LSL: Mix of aspen and maple hardwoods are bonded together with a waterproof adhesive in a steam injection press.
