One of nine products honored for advancing innovation across the building materials industry

NASHVILLE, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jul. 6, 2026-- LP Building Solutions (LP), a leading manufacturer of high-performance building products, today announced that LP BurnGuard™ Fire-Retardant-Treated (FRT) Oriented Strand Board (OSB) has received a 2026 Innovation Award from LBM Journal, recognizing groundbreaking products that advance performance, safety, and innovation across the building materials industry.

Selected as one of nine award recipients, LP BurnGuard FRT OSB was recognized for expanding fire resistant options in wood structural panels. The product is the first commercially available fire-retardant-treated OSB evaluated to meet the International Building Code and International Residential Code definitions for FRT wood structural panels while installing the same way as standard OSB sheathing. By combining familiar installation with fire resistance, LP BurnGuard FRT OSB helps design professionals meet evolving code requirements without changing established construction practices.

“Innovation creates value when it solves real challenges for our customers,” said LP Chief Commercial Officer Craig Sichling. “LP BurnGuard FRT OSB expands the resistant product options available to builders while preserving the installation experience and structural performance they already know. We’re proud to see that innovation recognized by LBM Journal.”

The award reflects LP’s continued investment in expanding its portfolio of high-performance building solutions. LP BurnGuard FRT OSB combines structural performance with integrated fire-retardant protection, helping dealers, contractors, and builders address evolving building requirements while delivering the durability and ease of installation they expect from engineered wood products.

This recognition adds to a growing list of honors for LP BurnGuard FRT OSB in 2026, including Green Builder Media’s Sustainable Product of the Year award, selection as one of Building Design + Construction’s 75 Top Building Products, and finalist recognition in the Best of IBS™ Awards from the National Association of Home Builders.
