flakeboard

Compressed wood chips

Flakeboard is an engineered wood product made by compressing wood flakes or particles with adhesive into rigid sheets.

It serves as a cheaper alternative to plywood for subflooring, furniture backing, and other construction where appearance matters less than function.

Also called particleboard or chipboard.
