Why Use SAFEBOARD™ OSP?

SAFEBOARD™ OSP (Overhang Support Panel) is a plywood sub-top replacement panel. After purchasing top quality stone, your project now deserves the best installation materials. SAFEBOARD™ OSP is constructed to last and provide worry-free enjoyment of your beautiful stone countertops. Avoid long-term problems that plywood sub-tops can cause such as warping and bacterial growth. Unlike plywood, SAFEBOARD™ OSP is:

  • Water and Moisture Resistant
  • Rigid and Durable Aluminum
  • Safe and Sanitary

Plywood absorbs water and warps over time. Not to mention the mold and formaldehyde. YES, plywood frequently contains formaldehyde. SAFEBOARD™ OSP is utilized in the stone and tile industry as a safe and sturdy alternative to plywood for kitchen, bathroom, and outdoor countertops.

With SAFEBOARD™ OSP there's no more need for corbels, or engineering metal frames to support an overhang. Made up entirely of high-durability aluminum, a strategically engineered honeycomb core is bonded between two rigid skins to create incredible strength.

Installation

SAFEBOARD™ OSP Features a Pre-Applied Primer

SAFEBOARD™ OSP comes with a pre-applied primer for a stronger bond to substrates. This pre-applied primer is blue and must be installed facing up.

The side of OSP with the pre-applied primer applied must be the side that your stone is bonded to.

For a proper installation, the following steps must be followed:

  • The protective film on both sides of the OSP panel must be peeled off.
  • The blue side (pre-applied primer side) must be installed facing up. Your stone must be bonded to this side.
