  2. Plywood - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plywood

    Aircraft plywood is available in thicknesses of 1 ⁄ 8 inch (3 mm) (3-ply construction) and upwards; typically aircraft plywood uses veneers of 0.5 mm (approx 1/64 in) thickness although much thinner veneers such as 0.1 mm are also used in construction of some of the thinner panels.

  3. Shear wall - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shear_wall

    A typical timber shear wall consists of braced panels in the wall line, constructed using structural plywood sheathing, specific nailing at the edges, and supporting framing. A shear wall is an element of a structurally engineered system that is designed to resist in- plane lateral forces, typically wind and seismic loads.

  4. Structural insulated panel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_insulated_panel

    EPS is the most common of the foams used and has an R-value (thermal resistance) of about 4 °F·ft 2 ·h/Btu (equivalent to about 0.7 K·m 2 /W) per 25 mm thickness, which would give the 3.5 inches (89 mm) of foam in a 4.5-inch-thick (110 mm) panel an R value of 13.8 (caution: extrapolating R-values over thickness may be imprecise due to non ...

  5. Siding (construction) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siding_(construction)

    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, more comfortable environment on the interior side.

  6. Oriented strand board - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oriented_strand_board

    The number of layers placed is determined partly by the thickness of the panel, but is limited by the equipment installed at the manufacturing site. Individual layers can also vary in thickness to give different finished panel thicknesses; typically, a 15 cm (5.9 in) layer will produce a 15 mm (0.59 in) panel thickness [citation needed]. The ...

    While plywood became widespread by the early 20th century, the invention of LVL was not until the 1980s after the invention of oriented strand board. [3] The American Wood Council's National Design Specification for Wood Construction is generally updated on a 3- to 5-year cycle. The 1991 release is the first release which mentions LVL.
