3. Composite lumber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composite_lumber

   Capped composites, although formulated to resist fading, stains, and scratches, will show some wear over time, even if it is less than a normal composite or real wood product. Composite deck boards are sold in either grooved or solid sided versions. The grooved composite board is fastened with hidden deck fasteners or clips, while the solid ...

4. Parallel-strand lumber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel-strand_lumber

   The strands in PSL are clipped veneer elements having a least dimension of not more than 1 ⁄ 4 inch (6.4 mm) and an average length of at least 300 times this least dimension (around 6 ft or 1.8 m). [1] It is a member of the structural composite lumber (SCL) family of engineered wood products. [1]

   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 ...

6. Laminated veneer lumber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laminated_veneer_lumber

   LVL is a type of structural composite lumber, comparable to glued laminated timber (glulam) but with a higher allowable stress. [1] A high performance more sustainable alternative to lumber, Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL) beams, headers and columns are used in structural applications to carry heavy loads with minimum weight. [2]

7. 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 ...

9. Structural insulated panel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_insulated_panel

   The third component in SIPs is the spline or connector piece between SIPs. Dimensional lumber is commonly used but creates thermal bridging and lowers insulation values. To maintain higher insulation values through the spline, manufacturers use Insulated Lumber, Composite Splines, Mechanical Locks, Overlapping OSB Panels, or other creative methods.
