Plywood
To create a plywood, thin layers of wood veneers are arranged at a right angle and firmly glued together, resulting in a superior stiffness of a panel. Plywood has a smooth finish; however, it can also have patches, knots, and a certain amount of filler is to be expected.
MDF (Medium Density Fibreboard)
MDF stands for “Medium Density Fibreboard” which has been machine engineered by bonding wood fibres with synthetic resin adhesive and pressured into a sheeting size.
Particle Board
Particle board, a common material used in furniture and construction, is a type of engineered wood product made from wood chips, sawmill shavings, or even sawdust, and a synthetic resin or other binder, which is pressed and extruded. This material is popular due to its affordability and versatility.
OSB
OSB is an engineered wood-based panel material in which long strands of wood are bonded together with a synthetic resin adhesive. OSB is usually composed of three layers, with the strands of the outer two layers orientated in a particular direction, more often than not in the long direction of the panel.
