Study Notes

Nonveneered Panels

  • Nonveneered panels are engineered wood sheets created using resin, heat, and/or pressure.
  • Types of nonveneered panels include oriented strand board (OSB), particleboard, and waferboard.

Oriented Strand Board (OSB)

  • OSB comprises long, strand-like wood particles, glued and compressed into three to five layers.
  • Strands in OSB layers are oriented in the same direction, enhancing strength and stiffness compared to waferboard and particleboard.
  • Common applications of OSB include sheathing and subflooring in wooden-frame structures.

Particleboard

  • Particleboard is not typically used for structural purposes, but it may serve in lateral-force-resisting diaphragms.
  • It can be manufactured in large sheets, making it suitable for various applications.
  • Often utilized in flooring for manufactured and mobile homes.

Manufacturing Process of Particleboard

  • Made from wood particles bonded with synthetic resins through heat and pressure.
  • Wood particle sizes can vary from 1 inch (25 mm) to very fine particles.
  • Particleboard can be produced in single-layer or multilayer configurations.
  • Maximum manufacturing dimensions for particleboard panels reach up to 8 by 40 feet (2.5 x 12 m).
