EGGER WOOD CONSTRUCTION

EXTERIOR WALL WITH 3 FUNCTIONS As well as providing reinforcement, EUROSTRAND OSB also acts as a vapour barrier (sd-value > 2.0 m). In vapour permeable constructions, there is no need to invest extra labour on installing a vapour barrier. The OSB-layer also provides a sucient degree of airtightness on patched joints, installations and permeations. EGGER DHF is used on the outside of walls as an external diusion-open (sd-value < 0.2 m) and windproof layer behind a ventilated facade. This protects the structure during the construction phase, allowing interior work to proceed to schedule. Thermal insulation and sound insulation will be clearly improved compared to a vapor permeable cladding with breather membranes.

FACADE SYSTEMS THE CHOICE IS YOURS We have a variety of interesting cladding options for you to choose from. From the modern thermal insulation composite systems (TICS), with a classic rendered facade or a quarter-brick eect, through curtain wall facades to the popular wooden facades in the form of laths, planks or shingling. You can have any colour or type you wish. Even demanding architectural requirements can be fullled using these systems.
TICS (e.g. StoTherm Classic)

INTERNAL WALL Its superb technical properties and varied formats even with tongue and groove prole make EUROSTRAND OSB ideal for use in internal walls. With EUROSTRAND OSB it is easy to attach loads such as cupboards or shelves to the wall surfaces without requiring special dowels. Another advantage of EUROSTRAND OSB 4 TOP is that it gives you the option of reducing the distances between the nail and the edge of the board in question. This allows the wood cross section of the loadbearing structure to be optimised and thereby reduces the heat loss through the wooden supporting structure.

PROCESSING RECOMMENDATIONS
The following instructions also apply to EUROSTRAND OSB and EGGER DHF. These are essential for correct use of the boards. STORAGE AND TRANSPORT Correct storage and protective measures during transport are essential for problem-free handling. The following simple principles should be taken into account: EUROSTRAND OSB and EGGER DHF should be stored at on several pieces of squared timber. The span width should be no greater than 80 cm and the pieces of squared timber should all be the same height. If several pallets are stacked on top of each other then the squared timber should be aligned by height. Steel bands should be undone immediately in the fabricators storeroom to prevent compressive strain on the pallet. Upright storage (practically vertical) is only suitable for a small number of boards on a dry oor. Tongue and groove boards In this case, only stand them on the groove side. In the case of transport by forklift truck the squared timber chosen must be suciently high so as to prevent damage. The boards must be suciently protected against weathering before being packed (closed lorry tarpaulin, polythene sheeting). Storage rooms should be uniformly air conditioned and free from large moisture and temperature uctuations. Before using the boards, a 48-hour period is recommended to allow the wood to acclimatise to local humidity.
max. 80 cm

Remove the steel bands on site

Package protected by lm cover

For acclimatisation on site: Boards propped up by battens

MOISTURE PROTECTION EUROSTRAND OSB is characterised by low thickness swelling and a high degree of dimensional stability (see technical data: dimensional changes under inuence of moisture). When used as a supporting and bracing element, appropriate measures should be taken against weathering. According to EN/TS 12872 wood and wood-based materials with the following equilibrium moistures (see table) are t for use if installation is carried out correctly and no impermissible condensation can form. EQUILIBRIUM MOISTURE OF WOOD-BASED MATERIALS
Relative humidity (RH) at 20C
Service class 1, 30 % to 65 % Dry conditions Service class 2, 65 % to 85 % Humid conditions

Before installation the following should be inspected on site:

Board thickness Board type/permissible service class Compliance mark CE marking

Wood-based material approx. equilibrium moisture

4 % to 11 %

Application
Installed dry, no moisture during usage. Occasional increase in humidity during use; Installed externally under roof. No direct weathering.

11 % to 17 %

Dry screeds consisting of wood-based materials should only be laid in enclosed buildings once windows and doors have been tted. When installation is carried out in rooms without a cellar below, ensure sucient thermal insulation to prevent condensation forming on the underside of the board and possible warpage to the oor. In the case of concrete ceilings install a vapour barrier rst. PE lm with d > 0.2 mm which overlaps joints by 30 cm and can be installed right up to the upper edge of the oor is suitable. The board moisture should correspond to the local humidity where it will be installed. In the case of oor joists made of dry wood note that u < 15 %, since shrinkage of the subconstruction can result in long-term squeaking noises. When using wet construction materials, such as plaster, paint and wallpapering the resulting high humidity should be dispersed by adequate ventilation or other suitable means.

Wood and wood-based materials must not take in moisture from the surrounding construction components. If the oor cannot be immediately installed after the dry screed has been laid then the board surface must be covered with a PE lm or other suitable material to prevent it drying out or becoming more moist on one side, leading to deformation (cupping, buckling).

The use of EUROSTRAND OSB as a vapour control layer at the inside of vapour permeable constructions guarantees a sucient high safety against condensation risk.

16

DISPOSAL In its delivery condition, wood waste can be used as a material or for the production of energy. In this case it is classied according to Appendix III of the Waste Wood Ordinance to (EWC Codes) 030105, 150103 or 170201. According to the waste code, it will be decided by local waste laws what form the disposal will take. SAW DRILL MILL EUROSTRAND OSB can be sawn and milled like solid wood using conventional electrical hand tools. We recommend the use of hard-metal cutting tools. IF BOARDS WILL BE VISIBLE ONCE INSTALLED, NOTE THE FOLLOWING FOR A GOOD CUT: Sharp tool Workpiece must not vibrate Correct saw blade overhang Select a slightly lower feed rate compared to solid wood. Wear a respiratory mask if using hand tools without a dust extraction device. EUROSTRAND OSB can be drilled with all suitable electronic and manual machines suitable for solid wood. FASTENING EUROSTRAND OSB can be attached with all fasteners suitable for chipboard, such as screws, staples and nails. The length of the nail/screw should be 2.5 board thickness and at least 50 mm. With staples, a minimum wire gauge of 1.53 mm should be used. Corrosion resistant fasteners, e.g. made from galvanised or stainless steel, are to be used. Due to the high withdrawal strength, only at-head nails with gutter groove, screw nails or annularly threaded nails should be used (see also DIN 1052-2). The crosswise orientation of the strands in the EUROSTRAND OSB creates a secure base for the fastener, even in the outermost board edge. The thick core-layer structure ensures a high withdrawal strength around the edges.

CLADDING/STRUCTURAL SHEATHING WITH WOOD-BASED PANELS

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Detailed recommendations and basic rules for installation of wood-based materials for roofs, walls and ceilings can be found in EN/TS 12872. EDGE DISTANCES/EXPANSION JOINT FLOOR/ROOF, CEILING The installed wood-based panels must have an extra space of 15 mm to the surrounding construction components. This extra space enables tension free work to be carried out on the panels as well as ventilation in the case of ooring. Skirtings must be tted so that the oor has adequate ventilation. Glued plastic skirtings are not suitable. Trusses, etc. in the space should be suciently exposed. In areas with edge lengths > 10 m, expansion joints that are permanently elastic should be arranged.
Glueing of tongue and groove

WALL In the case of walls with edge lengths > 10 m expansion joints approx. 10 15 mm wide should also be added. FLOOR INSTALLATION The installation of the wood-based panels is carried out by joining them together and therefore requires hardly any cutting in the case of oating installation. Cross joints must not be formed. Panels must be oset by at least 40 cm. Tongue and groove panels can be tted in the adjacent wall area by simply putting them in at an angle in the groove. Free oating panel joints parallel to the supports are not permissible according to Eurocode 5 Timber construction. Overhanging panels must be cut back to the size of the decking. The frame of the subconstruction should match that of the available panel sizes in order to minimise cutting. On old oorboards, rst check the old screws, and tighten them if necessary. Cut free any boards that are rubbing against each other. Be aware of functional adjacent construction. BOARD THICKNESS In the case of oating installations with EUROSTRAND OSB use a board thickness of 18 mm. In the case of high concentrated and individual loads use a board thickness of at least 25 mm. SUBCONSTRUCTION FOR CERAMIC FLOOR COVERING The EUROSTRAND OSB boards must have a board thickness of at least 25 mm for oors and 18 mm in the case of walls and they must have high bending strength. The tongue and groove ooring boards must be glued under one another and pushed into place with force. They are screwed into the substructure (see also fastening section). Deection must not exceed e/600. When installing ceramic oors include permanently elastic expansion joints every 3 4 m.

EGGER DHF SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

EGGER DHF AS SUB-ROOFING ON THE RAFTERS EGGER DHF are vapour permeable underlay boards. They form a second water-repellent layer under the roof covering. They can be used on roofs with a minimum pitch of 16 with a max. 8 below the standard roof pitch (SRP) of the planned roof decking. They are installed with the tongue and groove joints from the eaves to the roof ridge, with tongues pointing towards the ridge. In the case of a shortfall of more than 8 the standard roof pitch must be a rain and water tight subroof. With a board thickness 15 mm EGGER DHF, as rafters, is walkable up to a rafter grid of 1 m acc. to NORM B4119 (before ONR 22219-2 dry board). UNDERLAY CLASSIFICATION As interlocked underlay of the type UDP-A (rigid underlay, type A, with circumferential tongue and groove prole), the boards are assigned to Class 3 according to the ZVDH guidelines. EGGER DHF can be installed without an additional nail sealing strip under the counter-batten and without taping the tongue and groove joint, even in case of elevated requirements and with a roof pitch up to 8 less than the regulation pitch. Compliance with the minimum roof pitch of 16 is mandatory. Openings (for chimneys etc.) and joints (covings, groins, dormers etc.) must be taped using suitable adhesive tape. Increased requirements in addition to shortfall of standard roof pitch: Use of attic, especially as living space Special construction features, e.g. dormer windows, ridges, complicated roof shapes Climatic factors, e.g. mountains or coasts Local requirements, e.g. from building control ADDITIONAL GLUING A taped underlay must be implemented when the roof pitch is less than the regulation pitch of 16 by a maximum of 8. All board joints are taped using suitable adhesive tape. The minimum roof pitch is 10. TRANSIENT WEATHERING After installing EGGER DHF the roof covering/facade should be tted immediately. Between March and November the boards can be exposed to natural weathering for 2 months as a temporary roof. In the winter months, structural measures must be employed to ensure that the external covering layer of EGGER DHF cannot freeze, since this would seriously impair the diusion ability of the external panelling cladding and potentially lead to moisture damage. In the winter months it should only be exposed to natural weathering for a maximum of 2 weeks. If EGGER DHF is used for load-bearing purposes then the moisture protection regulations of the approval Z-9.1-454 apply and DIN 68800-2, i.e. the tted boards have to be protected from natural weathering. UNINSULATED COCK-LOFT The roof area of an uninsulated cock-loft and an unconverted attic must also be ventilated even by using a vapour permeable sub-roong material. The recommended ventilation cross-section, derived from the regulations for the ventilation of at roofs is 200 cm per running meter at the ridge and the eaves.
EGGER DHF used as rigid underlay

Note
If the pitch of the roof is less then 8 further measures should be taken to ensure rain and water tightness of the roof covering (i.e. taping the EGGER DHF panel joints).

Note
During the winter months, icing of the outer layer of the EGGER DHF board must be excluded by means of suitable construction measures, since this would severely impair the diusion characteristics of exterior sheathing, which may result in moisture damage.

DIMENSIONING
Wooden structures are designed according to the appropriate National and European standards. In the medium-term, Eurocode 5 has been introduced as an EU-wide regulation for the design of wooden constructions. Characteristic values for the structural design of EUROSTRAND OSB in accordance with Eurocode 5 can be taken from DIN EN 12369-1 or from the building authorities. The following assessment tables were created using the regulations for EUROSTRAND OSB 4 TOP in accordance with approval Z-9.1-566 as well as the rules for the assessment of wooden constructions in accordance with Eurocode 5.

Note
The tables contain recommended values and are not intended as a substitute for individual verication by a structural engineer.

LOADING TABLES FOR EUROSTRAND OSB PRE-DIMENSIONING OF WALL PANELS FOR HORIZONTAL FORCE The calculation is based on the regulations in DIN 1052-1:1988, section: 11.4.2 on the testing of tensile force on the board. To prevent the planking from buckling, the timber stud distances should be limited to ar = 83.3 cm. WALL PANELS IN THE HEIGHT H UNDER HORIZONTAL STRESS Horizontal force allowable Fv(KN/ar)
