But, deciding which reconstituted wood product (like OSB, MDF and particleboard) to use can be a nightmare if you are not familiar with them. Use the chart below to help plan the materials for your next project. Reconstituted woods products are made by mixing leftover wood parts with glue or resin at high heat and pressure. Since they do not have a grain pattern, they do not bow or warp like traditional plywood. Lowe's is happy to provide this information as a service to you. |
