Composite wood, also known as engineered wood, is a man-made material created by combining wood fibers, plastics, and adhesives. This process results in a product that is often more durable and resistant to moisture and pests compared to traditional solid wood. Common types of composite wood include particle board, medium-density fiberboard (MDF), and oriented strand board (OSB). Composite wood is widely used in furniture, flooring, and construction due to its versatility and cost-effectiveness. It can be manufactured in various shapes and sizes, making it suitable for a range of applications. Additionally, composite wood can be designed to mimic the appearance of natural wood, providing aesthetic appeal without the drawbacks of solid wood.
