Guideline for Structural Tape vs Oriented Strand Board (OSB)

When it comes to selecting the ideal material for structural sheathing in construction projects, both Structural Tape (ST) and Oriented Strand Board (OSB) have gained popularity. This guide offers a comparative analysis of these two materials to help you make an informed decision.

Direct Answer

Structural Tape and OSB are both suitable options for structural sheathing applications, but they differ in terms of their characteristics, advantages, and cost. Below is a summary of their key attributes:

Structural Tape (ST)

  • Composition: A thin, flexible, and self-adhering film made from polyethylene or polypropylene reinforced with glass or polyester fibers
  • Advantages: Lightweight, easy to handle, eliminates fasteners, can be used as a vapor barrier, and can be applied over uneven surfaces
  • Cost (approximate): $0.30 - $1.50 per square foot (depending on the specific product and the quantity)
  • Oriented Strand Board (OSB)

    • Composition: Engineered wood made from three layers of strands aligned in alternating directions and bound together with adhesive
    • Advantages: Strong, resistant to moisture, versatile, and economical compared to plywood
    • Cost (approximate): $0.25 - $1.00 per square foot (depending on the grade and the quantity)
