Particleboard with veneer. Particle board, also known as particleboard or chipboard, is an engineered wood product, belonging to the wood-based panels, manufactured from wood chips and a synthetic, mostly formaldehyde-based resin or other suitable binder, which is pressed under a hot press, batch- or continuous- type, and produced.

Medium density overlay panel, or MDO panel, is a paintable surface made of plywood with a weather-resistant resin overlay bonded to the wood by heat and pressure. The overlay, which has at least 27% resin content, [1] resists water, weather, wear and degradation. A similar product with a more rugged, smoother surface is called high density ...
Company-wide, the downsizing included the sale of a total of 935,000 acres of timberlands nationally, along with manufacturing plants making plywood, pulp, industrial panels, and lumber. Following the initial divestitures, the company focused on core businesses, including OSB, siding; engineered wood products, and plastic building products ...
Oriented strand board (OSB) is a type of engineered wood, formed by adding adhesives and then compressing layers of wood strands (flakes) in specific orientations. It was invented by Armin Elmendorf in California in 1963. [ 1 ]
Plywood is a composite material manufactured from thin layers, or "plies", of wood veneer that have been stacked and glued together. It is an engineered wood from the family of manufactured boards, which include plywood, medium-density fibreboard (MDF), oriented strand board (OSB), and particle board (or chipboard).
Highly decorative wood-shingle siding on a house in Clatskanie, Oregon, U.S. Siding or wall cladding is the protective material attached to the exterior side of a wall of a house or other building. Along with the roof, it forms the first line of defense against the elements, most importantly sun, rain/snow, heat and cold, thus creating a stable ...
Hardboard, also called high-density fiberboard (HDF), [1] is a type of fiberboard, which is a pressed wood or engineered wood product. [2] It is used in furniture and in the construction industry. Description
The creation of pressed wood begins with the veneers [2] being placed in a rotary dryer. [3] This dryer is typically heated with steam at around 204 °C (400 °F). This process prepares the veneers for the humidifying process in which the veneers are then placed into humidification chambers.
