2. Medium density overlay panel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medium_density_overlay_panel

   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 ...

3. Wood finishing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wood_finishing

   [10] [11] Woods that are coarse textured such as oaks and other ring-porous hardwoods may need to be filled before they are finished to ensure the coating can bridge the pores and resist cracking. The pores in ring-porous woods more readily absorb pigmented stain, and advantage can be taken of this to highlight the wood's grain. [ 7 ]

4. Waterproofing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterproofing

   One of the leading causes of waterproof deck system failures is the movement of underlying substrates (plywood) that cause too much stress on the membranes resulting in a failure of the system. While beyond the scope of this reference document, waterproofing of decks and balconies is a complex of many complimentary elements.

5. Wood–plastic composite - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wood–plastic_composite

   Trex composite decking. WPCs do not corrode and are highly resistant to rot, decay, and marine borer attack, though they do absorb water into the wood fibers embedded within the material. [14] Water absorption is more pronounced in WFCs with a hydrophilic matrix such as PLA and also leads to decreased mechanical stiffness and strength. [15]

6. Plywood - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plywood

   Tropical plywood is superior to softwood plywood due to its density, strength, evenness of layers, and high quality. It is usually sold at a premium in many markets if manufactured with high standards. Tropical plywood is widely used in the UK, Japan, United States, Taiwan, Korea, Dubai, and other countries worldwide.

7. Exterior insulation finishing system - Wikipedia

   Exterior insulation and finish system (EIFS) is a general class of non-load bearing building cladding systems that provides exterior walls with an insulated, water-resistant, finished surface in an integrated composite material system. EIFS has been in use since the 1960s in North America and was first used on masonry buildings.

   It is now more popular than plywood, commanding 66% of the North American structural panel market. [3] The most common uses are as sheathing in walls, flooring, and roof decking. For exterior wall applications, panels are available with a radiant-barrier layer laminated to one side; this eases installation and increases energy performance of ...
