Fiberboard or briquette The aparition of these boardings is due to the need for recycling wood of lower quality. This wood is destroyed into shaving, then compressed and glued, for acquiring the shape and thickness wanted. These boards are economic and we can point put many disadvantages: they cannot bear much weight, they bend and can be affected by humidity. In order to develop the enough hardness in the briquet, it is essential that residues be used with a moisture content around a 6 percent. The art of briquetting is not that old, and there are several techniques for its drying and creation e.g. the charcoal briquets, in which the briquets are carbonized after forming. The machines used for this purpose use the pressure in order to reduce the bulk and provide hardness for resistance to handling.

Fiber board These are also an economic type of wood, similar to briquet ones (i.e. MDF briquet wood). There are slight modifications, such as the kind of shaving used for its handicraft, which is thinner. Thus, the board is more compact. Its density is higher, given the high pressure when they are compressed. For a furniture made of fiber board, please click here

Differences among several kinds of woods

Trying to understand the differences between classes of plywood can be very complicated, but deciding which product to use reconstituted wood (such as OSB, MDF and chipboard) may be worse, and become a nightmare if you are unfamiliar with them. Use the following information to decide what material to use on your next woodworking project. The wood-based products are manufactured by mixing reconstituted pieces of waste wood with glue or resin to very high temperature and pressure. Because they have no grain, no arch or splinter like traditional plywood.

Sheet medium density fibreboard (MDF)

The MDF is made of fine wood fiber. Briquet boards are products based on wood waste that is produced by mixing sawdust with adhesives. Although there are arches or splinter like plywood, can swell and get rid if exposed to moisture. It is a board of wood particles bonded together by adhesive resin based on urea, grouping the most important advantages of particleboard: large size, varied thickness, smooth surfaces and homogeneous, and qualities according to DIN standard * for boards particles.

Oriented strand Board (OSB)

OSB is made from wood chips or large wood chips. The panels are formed with layers glued together with the fibers perpendicular relative to each other. This approach confers cross-resistance to the panels and makes the OSB match the appropriate sheet structures.
