engineered wood
Manufactured timber product
Engineered wood is wood products manufactured by binding strands, fibers, or veneers together with adhesives—plywood, particleboard, MDF, oriented strand board.
These materials use wood more efficiently than solid lumber, often from fast-growing trees or sawmill scraps.
Engineered wood offers consistent dimensions and resistance to warping: The subfloor is engineered wood rather than plywood.
