An Introduction to Engineered Wood: Types, Applications, and Considerations
https://youtu.be/eTv2SFCIgN8
Engineered wood refers to board materials made from plant fibers such as wood, bamboo, straw, and cotton stalks, which are processed through techniques such as slicing, chipping, crushing, granulating, drying, and bonding. Common types of engineered wood include particleboard, medium-density fiberboard (MDF), oriented strand board (OSB), and plywood.
In the current market, MDF and OSB are widely used. MDF is composed of wood chips and glue, with a smooth surface and good processing performance, suitable for indoor decoration and building materials such as furniture, flooring, doors, and wall panels. OSB is made from wood chips and bark, with a rough surface, suitable for building materials such as walls, floors, roofs, and sound insulation boards.
In addition, plywood is also a commonly used type of engineered wood, made by bonding thin wood veneers together. It has a smooth surface and is suitable for indoor decoration such as furniture, doors, and flooring.
When choosing engineered wood, factors such as usage, physical properties, appearance, environmental friendliness, and price should be considered. Different types of engineered wood have their own wide range of applications in different fields, and the selection should be based on the actual needs.
