Weyerhaeuser Edge Gold™ Premium Floor Panel
Engineered specifically for floor applications, Weyerhaeuser Edge Gold™ is a “next generation” premium grade oriented strand
board (OSB) panel. Compared to commodity OSB commonly used in sheathing applications, Edge Gold™ is manufactured with
an enhanced formulation involving higher adhesive and wax content. As a result, Edge Gold™ premium panels deliver
outstanding dimensional stability through “wet weather” construction periods, making it an ideal specification for flooring.
Weyerhaeuser is an industry leader in panel technology and has successfully developed proprietary grades of OSB for TJI Joists®
as web-stock and Edge Gold™ as floor panels. Floor panels and vertical webs of TJI Joists® are often faced with the same
challenges. Both need to be dimensionally stable throughout the construction period, and ultimately deliver structural
performance. The enhanced formulation of Edge Gold™ provides the solution for dimensionally stable structural floor panels.
Floor Design
Designing as a System with Vibration Control
Maximum joist span is often governed by code mandated floor vibration criteria. One way to efficiently mitigate floor vibration is
through the specification of thicker Edge Gold™ floor panels (versus using heavier, deeper floor joists). Through the use of
thicker floor panels to control floor vibration, floor joists can often span greater distances, while still meeting code requirements.
The Joist Span Comparison chart illustrates the effect that floor panel thickness has on allowable TJI Joists® spans.

(1) Systems with wider joist spacing typically require less construction time and cost less with fewer framing members to install and fewer obstructions for
mechanical trades. These savings have not been reflected in the table above.
(2) Pricing shown is for comparative purposes only, and is based on historical pricing trends for panel products. Contact your local Weyerhaeuser
representative for final pricing.
As illustrated in the Floor Assembly Cost Comparison table, in many cases thicker Edge Gold™ can reduce the cost of the floor
system by allowing the selection of floor joists in a lighter series, shallower depths, and/or wider on-centre spacing. Note:
Historically, the market price of 23/32" Weyerhaeuser Edge Gold TM is at an advantage relative to 5/8" plywood.

Trus Joist® TJ-Pro Rating System
The Trus Joist® TJ-Pro™ Rating System is a proprietary rating system that predicts floor performance and assigns a rating based
on client satisfaction. The methodology is based on extensive full-scale laboratory testing and more than one million
installations. By using the TJ-Pro™ Rating System, you can specify a floor system that will meet the performance desired by your
clients, and not just the code minimum.
Driven by your specification, designers using proprietary Weyerhaeuser design software such as Javelin® or Forte® can design a
floor system that will deliver the TJ-Pro™ rating level you have selected. Because the software considers the many factors
affecting floor performance, even taking into account the perceptions of the homeowner, the TJ-Pro™ Rating System provides a
much better predictor of floor performance. The TJ-Pro™ rating values relative to customer satisfaction are provided in the TJPro™ Rating Description table.

Floor Panel Deflection and Curvature
When designing a floor system, close attention is typically made to verify that the deflection of the floor joists satisfies code
requirements. However, when considering the specification for the finished flooring materials, consideration should also be
given to the deflection of the sub-floor panel between joists. For example, Terrazzo, Tile & Marble Association of Canada
(TTMAC) specifies a maximum deflection between panels of L/360 to control tile damage during service.
Specification of thicker Edge Gold™ floor panel will result in less panel deflection and therefore a larger radius of curvature of
the floor panel between joists, even when floor joists are designed at greater on-centre spacing. The result of specifying thicker
Edge Gold™ is a “flatter” floor system, which results in less flex of the finished flooring material as well as a more economical
floor system with fewer TJI® Joists.
The following diagram illustrates this effect on two floor systems, both featuring TJI® Joists. The floor system on the left uses ⅞"
Edge Gold™ floor panels with TJI® joists spaced at 24" on-centre while the floor system on the right uses ⅝" Douglas fir plywood
sub-floor with TJI® Joists at 16" on-centre. The ⅝" Douglas fir plywood sub-floor illustrated on the right results in a much shorter
radius of curvature and therefore a less flat floor.
Long Radius of Curvature
Short Radius of Curvature
The floor panel system with a short radius of curvature results in a much “sharper” curve, therefore, a floor finish will be
required to flex more than a system with a large radius of curvature.

Formaldehyde and Adhesive Data
No urea formaldehyde resins are used in the manufacture of any Weyerhaeuser products, including Edge Gold™ floor panels.
When tested in accordance with the ASTM E1333 large chamber test, formaldehyde emissions from Weyerhaeuser products
(including Edge Gold™) were under 0.10 ppm, which is below even the most stringent regulatory requirements. In many cases,
emissions were so low that they could not be distinguished from the background level of formaldehyde in the fresh air used
during the testing.

Response to Moisture
Bond Durability
Weyerhaeuser Edge Gold™ carries the “Exposure 1” bond classification. All products that meet “Exposure 1” rating are
designed and suitable for applications where construction delays and therefore exposure to outside elements may be expected
prior to full enclosure protection. All “Exposure 1” rated products (including all plywood and OSB panels) should be properly
stored and protected prior to installation. Refer to manufacturer recommendations for further details on proper storage and
handling.
Strength Properties
APA “Technical Topics” document TT-052 testing has shown that the overall strength properties of OSB will not be affected by
exposure conditions associated with typical construction delays. All Exposure 1 rated products (including all plywood and OSB
panels) when exposed to repeated wetting or high moisture environments may deteriorate or lose strength. For this reason,
protection from these conditions must be provided.
Moisture Absorption and Drying
Weyerhaeuser Edge™ and Edge Gold™ will both absorb and release moisture slower than common plywood. If Edge Gold™
panels become wet during construction, the drying rate difference between Edge Gold™ and plywood is not significant in a
typical residential or commercial project given the available time between “full enclosure” and placement of any finished
flooring. Moisture content recommendations of the floor panel made by the finished flooring manufacturer should always be
followed.
Nail Values and Moisture
The National Oak Flooring Manufacturers Association (NOFMA) commissioned testing at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute to
determine the best fastening system for nail-down hardwood floors on subfloors under realistic construction site conditions. In
the test results, it is cited,
“After 2-1/2 years of simulated moisture cycles, 5/8" and 3/4" plywood and 23/32" OSB subfloors were comparable in
nail holding power.”
Industry testing(*) has also been conducted on nail withdrawal properties of plywood and OSB to investigate the effect of
various moisture exposure conditions. These tests show that OSB and plywood panels taken through a wet-dry cycle
display similar nail withdrawal performance. In some cases the, nail withdrawal values actually increased for OSB.

Finished Flooring
Hardwood Flooring
The National Wood Flooring Association (NWFA) has become the leading organization for wood flooring certification
and the predominant source for proper installation of wood flooring. The NWFA Installation Guidelines provide
information on proper acclimation, subfloor guidelines and specifications, and installation guidelines. The NWFA has
approved Weyerhaeuser Edge™ and Edge Gold™ floor panels in a minimum thickness of 23/32" for use under hardwood
floors in Truss/joist systems spaced under 19.2" o.c.
Although 23/32" OSB is span-rated for floor systems spaced at 24" on-center, NWFA believes a thicker subfloor is
necessary to reduce deflection of the subfloor and minimize pops and squeaks in the wood flooring. Therefore, the
NWFA recommendation is to use a ⅞" thick OSB panel for floor systems spaced at 24" on-center.
NWFA Installation Guidelines, Chapter 4 – Wood Subfloor Guidelines, Part IV – Panel Products Subflooring, Section E –
Acceptable Panel Subfloors provides minimum acceptable thicknesses of panel subflooring, depending on the spacing
of the floor joists. Quoting Item 3:
Edge Gold™ Code Conformance and Availability
Edge Gold™ floor panels are manufactured in accordance with US Voluntary Product Standard PS2 and CAN/CSA-O325 with an
Exposure 1 bond classification. ⅞" Edge Gold™ floor panels are available through Weyerhaeuser Wood Product Dealers and
Independent Distributors. Installers of hardwood flooring should always refer to the floor preparation and installation guidelines
provided by their associations and flooring manufacturer.
Ceramic Tile
Weyerhaeuser Edge™ and Edge Gold™ floor panels in a minimum thickness of 23/32" are suitable as the subfloor material in
floor assemblies with a ceramic tile finish whenever a double layer floor system (consisting of a subfloor with an underlayment
layer) is specified.
The figure below shows the components typically found in a wood floor ceramic tile application, according to the Tile Installation
Manual by TTMAC (The Tile Terrazzo and Marble Association of Canada).

Self-Gapping Tongue-and-Groove
Both the Weyerhaeuser Edge™ and Edge Gold™ floor panels are manufactured with a self gapping tongue-and-groove profile
that automatically gaps the edges as the floor is assembled (see figure below). A 10d box nail can be used to gauge the 1/8"
gap between the ends of the panels.
For buildings over 80' in length or width, additional gapping recommendations may be necessary. For additional guidelines,
see OSB-4004 Technical Resource Sheet at http://www.woodbywy.com/literature/osb-4004.pdf.
Fastener Template
Weyerhaeuser stamps the face of every Edge Gold™ panel with a precision fastening template. Panels are shipped in the
bundle “face-up”, ready for placement. Edge Gold™ panels ensure efficient and accurate installation on the construction site.
