Name seven types of manmade boards?

1. Particle Board:

Also known as chipboard, particle board is made from small wood particles held together with a synthetic resin adhesive.

2. Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF):

MDF is made from small wood fibers bonded together with resin and wax. MDF is denser and smoother than particle board.

3. High Density Fiberboard (HDF):

HDF is similar to MDF but made from higher density wood fibers, resulting in a more durable and water-resistant board.

4. Oriented Strand Board (OSB):

OSB is made from large wood strands oriented in alternating layers and bonded with resin. OSB is known for its strength and commonly used in construction.

5. Plywood:

Plywood is made from thin layers of wood (veneers) glued together with the grain of each layer perpendicular to the previous one, creating a strong and stable board.

6. Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL):

LVL is made from thin veneers laminated together with the grains running in the same direction.

7. Wood Plastic Composite (WPC):

WPC is a combination of wood fibers and recycled plastic, creating a durable and weather-resistant composite material.
