The OSE Board

Straw at its core.
Housing at its heart.

A 58–60 mm compressed agricultural fibre structural wall-system board. Made mainly from wheat or rice straw, with paper facings, it gives local partners a different way to build walls and deliver homes.

The board is where it starts.
The wall is what you build.

OSE Board replaces masonry wall construction through a project-specific system of boards, connections, protection and finishes.

01

The material

Compressed agricultural fibre with paper facings, produced under controlled manufacturing and QA/QC procedures.

02

The assembly

Wall layout, fixings, joints, openings, services, moisture protection and finishes are resolved as one engineered design.

03

The delivery

Licensed partners manufacture boards locally. Trained local teams install the approved housing system.

Built for the realities of site

Design once.
Install consistently.

Coordinate room dimensions and openings with the board module. Resolve wet areas, foundations, roof connections and service routes before work starts.

Large-format dry assembly supports repeatable installation. The construction sequence, labour plan and full wall cost are assessed for the local project.

Evidence & specification

Ask the questions
that make a building work.

How is structural performance assessed?

The board, connections and complete wall assembly must be reviewed against the project's loads, geometry and local requirements. Request the relevant structural evidence and an engineering discussion.

What about fire, moisture and durability?

Performance depends on the specified assembly, protection, joints and penetrations. Request the evidence relevant to your intended use and climate; a board specification alone is not a local building approval.

What is the environmental opportunity?

OSE uses agricultural straw and supports local manufacturing. Its potential to reduce embodied carbon relative to conventional wall systems is assessed using the full assembly, local production inputs and appropriate life-cycle evidence.

Which technical material can I request?

Tell us your project country and intended application. We can identify relevant board information, installation guidance, structural documentation and the evidence needed for the approval route.
