Wood-based panels
is a general term for a variety of different board products, which have an impressive range of engineering properties. While some panels types are relatively new on the market, others have been developed and successfully introduced more than hundred years ago. However, even those panel types having a long history of continuous optimization are still a long way from being fully developed and they probably never will be. Technological developments on the one hand and new market and regulative requirements, combined with a steadily changing raw material situation, drive continuous improvements of wood-based panels and their manufacturing processes.
