Engineered wood products are man-made materials created by binding or fixing strands, particles, fibers, or veneers of wood together with adhesives or other methods. These products include items like plywood, oriented strand board (OSB), and laminated veneer lumber (LVL). They are designed to provide greater strength, stability, and versatility compared to traditional solid wood. These products are commonly used in construction and furniture making due to their ability to be manufactured in large sizes and specific shapes. Engineered wood products are often more environmentally friendly, as they can utilize smaller trees and wood scraps, reducing waste and promoting sustainable practices.
