Plywood is a structural board consisting of an odd number of thin layers of wood glued together under pressure, with the grain of one layer at right angles to the grain of the adjoining layer. It is one of the most widely used wood products. It is flexible, inexpensive, workable, and re-usable. Plywood is used instead of plain wood because of plywoods resistance to cracking, shrinkage, splitting,twisting and warping. Plywood reduces the tendency of wood to split when nailed at the edges; it reduces expansion and shrinkage, providing improved dimensional stability; It is very hard to bend it perpendicular to the grain direction.
Fancy veneers are usually considered to a kind of luxury wood veneers, slice cut with unique and beautiful wood grains. Wood species are including teak, oak, walnut, cherry, mahogany, ash, beech, elm and sapele etc.
Medium density fiberboard(MDF) is a composite wood product. It's made out of woodfibers glued together with resin, heat, and pressure. The density of MDF is usually higher than plywood and particle board. MDF is valued for its insular qualities in sound and heat. MDF is a poplar materials for making furniture, shelving, laminate flooring, decorative moulding, doors , cabinetry, moulding and so on because it is smooth, uniform, and won't warp. MDF are often covered in a veneer or laminate or painting.MDF has many advantages like It's very smooth and easy cutting and good for slotting. Also, it can be nailed, glued, screwed, stapled, or attached with dowels like other composite wood products.
Melamine face panels include melamine MDF, MFC, melamine face plywood, melamine face block board, melamine face door skin and so on. Melamine face panels don't need paint or coating treatment if only for common use. Sometimes, to add high glossy UV laquers or high glossy transparent PE film on melamine face to make high glossy panels. Melamine face panels are ideal materials for making furniture, wall panel, decoration, kitchen cabinet, cubboard and other decoration. Main features are ：Anti-acid,anti-alkali,Chemical resistant ,Impact resistance,Hygienic, Anti-bacterial, Water resistance, Fireproof, Heat resistant, anti-cigarette burns, Easy to clean and maintain, rich options of color designs etc
Laminated veneer lumber (LVL) is an engineered wood product that uses multiple layers of thin wood assembled with adhesives. LVL veneers all stack in the same direction. The direction of the wood grain is always parallel to the length of the board. LVL offers several advantages over typical milled lumber: Made in a factory under controlled specifications, it is stronger, straighter, and more uniform. Due to its composite nature, it is much less likely than conventional lumber to warp, twist, bow, or shrink. LVL is a type of structural composite lumber with a higher allowable stress. It is widely used for headers, beams, rimboard, scaffolding board, and edge-forming material like door frame, bed side panel etc.
Wood panels like honey comb board, LVL plank, plywood, MDF boards, door skin, solid fir wood jointed panel, particle board and so on are popularly used for making door.
Blockboard is an engineered wood, one of wood based panels like plywood. It consists of a core made of softwood wood strips between the two or four layers of wood veneer. Wooden strips are placed edge-to-edge and are enclosed between hardwood veneer sheets which are glued together under high pressure. The wooden strips in the core run lengthways in order to achieve the maximum strength. Blockboards are light in weight, and are easy to cut. They have good screw holding capacity as compared to particle board and MDF. It is the DIY maker's favorite materials. They also are stronger and have good resistance to warping. Blockboards are available in various finishes such as laminated, veneered and melamine. Block board has been generally used to make bookshelves, benches, doors, shelves, tables, cupboards, cabinet, wall panelling and partition walls.
