Study Notes

  • Materials can be selected based on their working properties.
  • Different types of timber-based materials are available, including hardwood, softwood, MDF, plywood, and chipboard.
  • MDF is made from small timber fibres mixed with wax and resin, while plywood is made by gluing at least three layers of sheet timber together at right angles to each other.
  • Chipboard is a man-made sheet material made from small chips of timber glued together.
  • Each type of timber or board will function differently and can be used in different environments.
  • Aesthetics relate to the way a material looks, and each example of timber has a different pattern on the grain and texture.
  • MDF can be laminated with a single sheet of a hardwood veneer to give the impression of solid hardwood at a lower cost.
  • Some timbers are hard and very dense, while others are lighter and softer to cut and work with.
  • Plywood is considered to be a strong board as the grain of the timber sheets are glued together in different directions.
  • Understanding the properties of different materials is important when selecting materials for a specific purpose.
