#OSB-4000 EDGE™ AND EDGE GOLD™ FLOOR PANELS Including Patented Down Pore® Self-Draining Technology • Quick and Easy Installation • Strong and Stable • Self-Gapping • Warranted Against Delamination SPECIFIER’S GUIDE
GIVE YOURSELF AN EDGE ON EVERY JOB Weyerhaeuser Edge™ oriented strand board (OSB) floor panels help builders get an edge on their competition by delivering both the value and product reliability needed for solid, stable floors. Easily recognized by their green edge seal, each Edge™ panel is uniform in size to allow easy installation, minimal waste, and reduced callbacks. Edge™ floor panels are also backed by a limited 25-year warranty against delamination.
DESIGN PROPERTIES In most applications, Edge™ and Edge Gold™ floor panels will be specified based on the span rating of the panel. However, in some uses, engineers will require actual design values to support application-specific engineering calculations. The Design Values table below provides industry-standard design values for OSB based on information in the International Building Code (IRC). The panel design values do not need to be adjusted for panel grade or construction.

PRODUCT STORAGE AND HANDLING Like any wood product, wood-based panels are at risk of fungal decay or rot if exposed to repeated wetting or high-moisture environments. Panels that are exposed to such conditions may deteriorate, lose strength, or support mold growth, so protection from these conditions must be provided. Use a platform made from cull panels and scrap lumber supported by s tickers that extend across the width of the stack, and keep panels at least 4" from the ground.
