Most of the panel materials used for custom whole-house furniture on the market are made from either solid wood or engineered wood. Among these, engineered wood is more commonly used by furniture manufacturers due to its versatile design options. The four main types of engineered wood we often encounter are particleboard, OSB (oriented strand board), solid wood plywood, and solid wood laminated plywood.

Choosing板材 for custom home furnishings: What are the differences between particleboard, OSB, and plywood?

Most of the panel materials used for custom whole-house furniture on the market are made from either solid wood or engineered wood. Among these, engineered wood is more commonly used by furniture manufacturers due to its versatile design options. The four main types of engineered wood we often encounter are particleboard, oriented strand board (OSB), solid wood plywood, and solid wood laminated plywood.

① Particleboard: Wood chips are ground into particles and then hot-pressed into boards. It boasts excellent load-bearing capacity, is resistant to deformation, and has strong nail-holding power. Its performance characteristics are relatively well-balanced, making it a commonly used material for cabinet bodies and doors.

 

② OSB: Actually, OSB is also a type of particleboard, in which wood chips are processed into flake-shaped core layers. OSB is manufactured using a directional chip orientation method: the chips on the top and bottom layers are arranged longitudinally, while those in the middle layer are arranged transversely. The layers are then hot-pressed into boards. As a result, OSB exhibits superior toughness and higher moisture resistance compared to conventional particleboards, making it suitable for use as door and wall panels.

 

③ Solid wood multilayer board: Wood veneer is sliced into thin sheets and then layered and bonded together using adhesives. It boasts excellent water resistance and strong lateral load-bearing capacity, making it commonly used as material for bookcases and cabinets. ④ Solid wood multilayer composite board: The middle-layer structure is identical to that of solid wood multilayer boards; the only difference is that a layer of medium-density fiberboard is added to the surface layer, enhancing the board’s stability.
