Wood is a hard fibrous material particularly lies between the bark and the core of a tree that

makes up the trunk and branches. In particular wood refers to the lignified tissues, known as xylem,
which carry out significant responsibilities for conducting water, storage, and providing structural
support within the trunk of the tree's, branches, and roots (cabalu, 2024).

TYPES OF WOOD
 HARD WOOD
 SOFT WOOD

HARD WOOD- Typically broad-leafed and shed their leaves annually. Hardwoods are known for their
density, durability, and strength, making them suitable for a wide range of applications in construction,
furniture-making, flooring, and decorative elements.

SOFT WOOD- Timber derived from gymnosperm trees—usually evergreen conifers like pine, fir, spruce,
and cedar—is referred to as softwood. Softwood is not always "soft" despite its name, which
distinguishes it from hardwood, which is found in broad-leaved or angiosperm trees. Softwood's
availability, workability, and affordability make it a popular choice for construction, furniture production,
and other industrial applications.

MANUFACTURED WOODS
Products made by joining wood veneers, fibers, or particles with adhesives under pressure and heat are
referred to as manufactured wood, engineered wood, or composite wood. Compared to real solid wood,
the materials produced by this technique are frequently stronger, more consistent, and more
customizable.

HARDBOARD

Hardboard is similar to particle board and medium-density fiberboard, but is denser, stronger and harder
because it is made out of exploded wood fibers that have been highly compressed.

LAMINATED

Depending on its intended purpose, timber boards of various sizes and shapes are typically glued in
parallel to create laminated wood. The primary output consists of load-bearing components like arches
and beams. Sometimes, specialized products (including furniture, sporting goods, and novelty items) are
made using veneers that are parallel-glued.

PLYWOOD-Plywood is a composite material made from thin wood veneer "plies" that have been adhered
to one another via stacking. It is an engineered wood that belongs to the same family of produced
boards as particle board (also known as chipboard), plywood, medium-density fiberboard (MDF), and
oriented strand board (OSB).
PARTICLE BOARD- Particle board, also called chipboard, is a wood-based panel created by compressing
wood chips and synthetic resin under heat.

BLOCKBOARD- Blockboard is a specially engineered type of plywood. It is constructed by placing


softwood strips between two layers of wood veneers at the core of the sheet, enhancing its dimensional
stability.

In addition, according to M.T. Copeland Technologies (2017), Wood is one of the oldest building materials
used by mankind. Wood is more often used by almost all people to build houses. Due to the lightweight
nature of wood, it is easy for people to construct the ideal structure of a building in which it has an
aesthetic texture, relaxing surroundings, and high resistance from heat. Wood has a disadvantage, which
is that it is prone and easily to burn, unlike concrete and steel.
