What is this OSB variant called?

[FORDification]

A local contractor put up a new wall in my employers basement and sheeted it with this coated OSB. The white textured surface is similar to what you'd use around a bathtub. I asked him what it was called and he told me whiteboard, but looking that up in Google shows me dry - erase boards.

So what is this called? I'm wondering if it might be a suitable alternative to standard OSB on the interior of the shop I'm planning.

Yes it does, but it's not a separate thin sheet, it's more like a coating on the OSB.

Appears to be OSB faced with FRP. OSB is available with a wide variety of facings.

Google something like "FRP faced OSB" and you will get lots of information and alternatives.

Thanks Ken....that's I was looking for.

But upon further investigation, I've decided that $70/sheet means that it's not feasible. I could probably find something semi-similar to coat my OSB walls with that'll do the same thing without breaking the bank.

Since FRP is the acronym for "fiberglass reinforced plywood wouldn't that stuff be FRO?

Frp is about $30-40 a sheet so you're at almost the same price + more labor.

FRP stands for fiberglass reinforced plastic, which is just the coating which is applied to plywood or OSB.
