2. Oriented strand board - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oriented_strand_board

   OSB is a material with favorable mechanical properties that make it particularly suitable for load-bearing applications in construction. [2] It is now more popular than plywood, commanding 66% of the North American structural panel market. [3] The most common uses are as sheathing in walls, flooring, and roof decking

3. Structural insulated panel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_insulated_panel

   The panels can be used as floor, wall, and roof, with the use of the panels as floors being of particular benefit when used above an uninsulated space below. As a result, the total life-cycle cost of a SIP-constructed building will, in general, be lower than for a conventional framed one—by as much as 40%.

4. Plywood - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plywood

   Plywood is a composite material manufactured from thin layers, or "plies", of wood veneer that have been stacked and glued together. It is an engineered wood from the family of manufactured boards, which include plywood, medium-density fibreboard (MDF), oriented strand board (OSB), and particle board (or chipboard).

5. List of commercially available roofing materials - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_commercially...

   Heavy stone slabs (not to be confused with slate) 1–2 inches thick were formerly used as roofing tiles in some regions in England, the Alps, and Scandinavia. Stone slabs require a very heavyweight roof structure, but their weight makes them stormproof. An obsolete roofing material, now used commercially only for building restoration.

6. Exterior insulation finishing system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exterior_insulation...

   In the United States, the International Building Code and ASTM International define Exterior Insulation and Finish System (EIFS) as a non-load-bearing exterior wall cladding system that consists of an insulation board attached either adhesively, mechanically, or both, to the substrate; an integrally reinforced base coat; and a textured protective finish coat.

7. Oriented structural straw board - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oriented_structural_straw...

   OSSB panels have high structural strength, load bearing and stability in both directions, as well as superior workability and excellent nail holding properties on all sides. Water permeability treated OSSB panels are more water resistant than treated traditional wood panel boards because they have no internal gaps or voids.
