Engineered wood, also called composite wood, man-made
wood, or manufactured board; includes a range of derivative
woodproducts which are manufactured by binding or fixing the
strands, particles, fibers, or veneers or boards of wood,
together with adhesives , or other methods of fixation to
form composite materials. These products are engineered to
precise design specifications which are tested to meet national
or international standards. Engineered wood products are used
in a variety of applications, from home construction to
commercial buildings to industrial products. The products can
be used for joists and beams that replace steel in many
building projects.

Some engeneered products such as CLT Cross Laminated Timber

can be assembled without the use of adhesives using
mechanical fixing. These can range from profiled interlocking
jointed boards, proprietary metal fixings, nails or timber
dowels (Brettstapel - single layer or CLT).

BRETTSTAPEL is the term commonly used for solid timber

construction that does not generally use glues or nails.

 COMPARATIVE ADVANTAGES OF USING ENGENEERED WOOD PRODUCTS

Engineered wood products are used in a variety of ways, often in

applications similar to solid wood products. Engineered wood
products may be preferred over solid wood in some
applications due to certain comparative advantages:
☺ Because engineered wood is man-made, it can be designed
to meet application-specific performance requirements.
☺ Engineered wood products are versatile and available in a
wide variety of thicknesses, sizes and grades, making the
products ideal for use in unlimited construction, industrial and
home project application.
☺ Glued laminated timber (glulam) has greater strength and
stiffness than comparable dimensional lumber and, is stronger
than steel. Glulam products are also a better environmental
choice than steel because they have less embodied energy.
 SOME DISADVANTAGES OF USING ENGENEERED WOOD PRODUCTS

Engineered wood products also have some disadvantages:

 Some products may burn more quickly than solid lumber.
 The adhesives used in some products may be toxic. A
concern with some resins is the release of formaldehyde in the
finished product, often seen with urea-formaldehyde bonded
products.
 Cutting and otherwise working with some products can
expose workers to toxic compounds.
 Some engineered wood products, such as those specified for
interior use, may be weaker and more prone to humidity-
induced warping than equivalent solid woods. Most particle
and fiber-based boards are not appropriate for outdoor use
because they readily soak up water.
