2. Laminate panel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laminate_panel

   Laminate panel is a type of manufactured timber made from thin sheets of substrates or wood veneer. It is similar to the more widely used plywood, except that it has a plastic, protective layer on one or both sides. Laminate panels are used instead of plywood because of their resistance to impact, weather, moisture, shattering in cold ...

3. Lumber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lumber

   For example, a "2×4" board historically started out as a green, rough board actually 2 by 4 inches (51 mm × 102 mm). After drying and planing, it would be smaller by a nonstandard amount. Today, a "2×4" board starts out as something smaller than 2 inches by 4 inches and not specified by standards, and after drying and planing is minimally 1 ...

4. Laminated veneer lumber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laminated_veneer_lumber

   The invention of laminated veneer lumber as known today can be attributed to Arthur Troutner. While glue laminated wood veneers were in use since the middle of the 19th century on a small scale for furniture and pianos, Troutner was the first to develop a laminated veneer lumber of a scale large enough to be used in construction.

5. Cross-laminated timber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-laminated_timber

   Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is a subcategory of engineered wood [1] panel product made from gluing together at least three layers [2] of solid-sawn lumber (i.e. lumber cut from a single log). [3] Each layer of boards is usually oriented perpendicular to adjacent layers and glued on the wide faces of each board, usually in a symmetric way so ...

6. Engineered wood - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineered_wood

   Large self-supporting wooden roof built for Expo 2000 in Hanover, Germany. Engineered wood, also called mass timber, composite wood, man-made wood, or manufactured board, includes a range of derivative wood products which are manufactured by binding or fixing the strands, particles, fibres, or veneers or boards of wood, together with adhesives, or other methods of fixation [1] to form ...

7. Parallel-strand lumber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel-strand_lumber

   [citation needed] PSL can be made from any wood species, but Douglas fir, southern pine, western hemlock, and yellow poplar are commonly chosen [9] because of their superior strength. The product is manufactured as a 12-by-12-inch (300 mm × 300 mm) or 12-by-18-inch (300 mm × 460 mm) billet in a rectangular cross-section, which is then ...

8. Medium-density fibreboard - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medium-density_fibreboard

   The density of the board, when evaluated in relation to the density of the fibre that goes into making the panel, is important. A thick MDF panel at a density of 700–720 kg/m 3 (44–45 lb/cu ft) may be considered as high density in the case of softwood fibre panels, whereas a panel of the same density made of hardwood fibres is not regarded ...

9. Glued laminated timber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glued_laminated_timber

   Glulam brace with plates used for connections Glulam frame of a roof structure. Glued laminated timber, commonly referred to as glulam, is a type of structural engineered wood product constituted by layers of dimensional lumber bonded together with durable, moisture-resistant structural adhesives so that all of the grain runs parallel to the longitudinal axis.
