    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).
