2. Composite lumber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composite_lumber

   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 board is typically face-screwed. Most composite deck board manufacturers produce lengths of 12, 16, or 20 feet (3.7, 4.9, or 6.1 m), 5 + 1 ⁄ 2 by 3 ⁄ 4 inch (140 mm × 19 mm ...

3. Engineered wood - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineered_wood

   Engineered wood. Engineered wood, also called mass timber, composite wood, human-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 composite ...

4. Lumber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lumber

   Lumber is the most common and widely used method of sawing logs. Plain sawn lumber is produced by making the first cut on a tangent to the circumference of the log. Each additional cut is then made parallel to the one before. This method produces the widest possible boards with the least amount of log waste.

5. Wood–plastic composite - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wood–plastic_composite

   Wood–plastic composites (WPCs) are composite materials made of wood fiber / wood flour and thermoplastic (s) such as polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), or polylactic acid (PLA). In addition to wood fiber and plastic, WPCs can also contain other ligno-cellulosic and/or inorganic filler materials.

6. Laminated veneer lumber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laminated_veneer_lumber

   Laminated veneer lumber (LVL) is an engineered wood product that uses multiple layers of thin wood assembled with adhesives. It is typically used for headers, beams, rimboard, and edge-forming material. LVL offers several advantages over typical milled lumber: Made in a factory under controlled specifications, it is stronger, straighter, and ...

7. Medium-density fibreboard - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medium-density_fibreboard

   Medium-density fibreboard. Medium-density fibreboard ( MDF) is an engineered wood product made by breaking down hardwood or softwood residuals into wood fibre, often in a defibrator, combining it with wax and a resin binder, and forming it into panels by applying high temperature and pressure. [ 1] MDF is generally denser than plywood.

8. Parallel-strand lumber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel-strand_lumber

   Parallel-strand lumber ( PSL) is a form of engineered wood made from parallel wood strands bonded together with adhesive. It is used for beams, headers, columns, and posts, among other uses. The strands in PSL are clipped veneer elements having a least dimension of not more than inch (6.4 mm) and an average length of at least 300 times this ...

9. Fiber-reinforced composite - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiber-reinforced_composite

   A fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) is a composite building material that consists of three components: [ 1][ 2] the fibers as the discontinuous or dispersed phase, the matrix as the continuous phase, and. the fine interphase region, also known as the interface. This is a type of advanced composite group, which makes use of rice husk, rice hull ...
