Composite Wood Panels and Decorative Surfaces

The term "composite wood products" refers to a family of engineered wood panels that includes particleboard, MDF (medium density fiberboard), and hardboard.

Particleboard is made from small wood particles pressed together with glue under extreme heat and pressure to make a solid panel.
