Particle Board

Particle board is a waste-wood product that's made by mixing sawdust with adhesives. Although it won't bow or warp like plywood, it can swell and become unstable when exposed to water. The main uses are for furniture, underlayment and as substrate for countertops. It can be milled with all power tools and has moderate tear-out. Laminate and veneer finishes are the most common. Particle board comes in 4-foot-by-8-foot panels; 1/2-inch- to 1-inch-thick pre-cut shelving boards come in various sizes.

Oriented strand board waterproof

Oriented Strand Board

Oriented strand board (OSB) is an engineered wood product that's made with flakes or large chips of wood. The panels are formed from layers glued together with their strands at 90-degree angles to one another. The cross-orientation of the layers adds strength to the panels and makes OSB well-suited for use as a structure board in sheathing and underlayment. It can be cut with all power saws but since it's a structure board, it's not suited to shaping, sanding or other milling operations.
While OSB is mainly used as an underlayment, paint and primer will adhere to it for projects that require finishing. OSB panels are 4-feet-by-8-feet in size with a thickness of 1/4 inch to 3/4 inches. It's also available in tongue and groove panels.

Birch Plywood

Birch Plywood is an engineered wood product that's manufactured by thin layers of wood veneer glued together. There are different types of plywood for specific jobs.  Exterior plywood uses waterproof glue for outdoor construction. Hardwood plywood, made from layered hardwood veneer, is used for its durability and attractive look in furniture. Plywood receives grades (ranging from A to D) based on the number of blemishes on the product.

Blockboard

Blockboard is one type of engineered compound plywood board where softwood strips are joined edge to edge and bonded together machining often a sandwich structure placing hardwood between them. Block board is usually found in different sizes and thickness.

Fire-Proof Plywood

Fire Rated Plywood is an engineered wood product that's manufactured by thin layers of wood veneer glued together. There are different types of plywood for specific jobs. Exterior plywood uses waterproof glue for outdoor construction. Hardwood plywood, made from layered hardwood veneer, is used for its durability and attractive look in furniture. Plywood receives grades (ranging from A to D) based on the number of blemishes on the product.

MDF Board

MDF stands for medium-density fiberboard, which is an engineered wood composite made up of wood fibers. Because the MDF is composed of small wood fibers, there is no visible wood grain, rings, or knots. The making of the composite uses the fibers, glue, and heat to create a tight bonding board. Both softwood and hardwood are used to manufacture MDF. Generally denser than plywood, this composition creates a stronger material for building. We use a veneer sealant to prevent water damage. Two types of fiberboard are moisture resistant (which is typically blue) and fire retardant.

Gypsum Board/ Plasterboard/ Drywall

Due to its inherent fire resistance, gypsum board, commonly known as drywall is the premier building material for wall, ceiling, and partition systems in residential, institutional, and commercial structures. Designed to provide a monolithic surface when joints and fastener heads are covered with a joint treatment system, gypsum products also provide sound control, economy, versatility, quality, and convenience.
