FIBERBOARD :
FIBERBOARD IS ENGINEERED WOOD SHEETS MADE FROM
VARIOUS MATERIALS, SUCH AS RECYCLED PAPER, WOOD
WASTE, HARDWOOD, AND SOFTWOOD FLAKES, AS WELL
AS SAWMILL OFF-CUTS.
IT IS USED IN VARIOUS APPLICATIONS, SUCH AS LOWSLOPE ROOFING, STRUCTURAL SHEATHING, SOUNDPROOFING, AND FLOORING UNDERLAYMENT.
THERE ARE THREE MAJOR TYPES OF FIBERBOARD WITH
VARIED DENSITIES— PARTICLE BOARD, WHICH HAS THE
LOWEST DENSITY, MEDIUM-DENSITY FIBERBOARD (MDF),
AND HIGH-DENSITY FIBERBOARD.
PARTICLE BOARD :
PARTICLEBOARD IS COMPOSED OF WOOD FLAKES MIXED
TOGETHER USING A RESIN SOLUTION SUCH AS MELAMINE
BASED RESIN.
IT HAS A DENSITY OF 160-450 KG/M³ AND IS USED IN
VARIOUS CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS SUCH AS
UNDERLAYMENT IN BATHROOMS, LAUNDRIES, AND
KITCHEN FLOOR COVERINGS AS WELL AS IN FURNITURE
DESIGN.
PARTICLEBOARD IS THE WEAKEST AND LIGHTEST AMONG
THE FIBERBOARDS AND IS PRONE TO DISCOLORATION AND
WARPING WHEN EXPOSED TO HIGH MOISTURE.
MDF (MEDIUM DENSITY
FIBERBOARD) :
MEDIUM-DENSITY FIBERBOARD IS ANOTHER TYPE OF
FIBERBOARD COMPOSED OF FLAKES OF HARDWOOD
AND SOFTWOOD COMBINED BY APPLYING A RESIN
BINDER AND WAX WITH A DENSITY RANGING FROM
600-800 KG/M³.
IT IS COMMONLY USED IN THE SHOPFITTING BUSINESS,
LOUDSPEAKER ENCLOSURES, AND ON SCHOOL
PROJECTS.
MDF IS MUCH DENSER THAN CONVENTIONAL PLYWOOD
AND IS OFTEN USED AS A SUBSTITUTE TO PLYWOOD
WHERE GREATER STRENGTH AND FLEXIBILITY ARE
REQUIRED.
GREEN MDF IS MOISTURE-RESISTANT, YELLOW MDF IS
NUCLEAR RESISTANT, AND BLUE AND RED MDF IS FIRE
RESISTANT.
HIGH-DENSITY
FIBERBOARD :
ALSO CALLED HARDBOARD, HIGH-DENSITY FIBERBOARD IS
MADE OF HIGHLY COMPRESSED WOOD FIBERS THAT ARE
MUCH DENSER, HARDER AND STRONGER COMPARED TO
PARTICLEBOARD AND MEDIUM-DENSITY FIBERBOARD.
WITH A DENSITY OF 600-1450 KG/M³, HIGH-DENSITY
FIBERBOARD IS IDEAL FOR HIGH-QUALITY FURNITURE,
FLOORING, CABINET-MAKING, AUTOMOBILE DASHBOARD
PANELS, AND CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS.
HIGH-DENSITY
FIBERBOARD :
ONE OF THE MAIN ADVANTAGES OF A HIGH-DENSITY
FIBERBOARD IS ITS MOISTURE RESISTANCE. THIS IS NOT TO
SAY THAT HDF IS TOTALLY WATERPROOF, THOUGH. HIGHDENSITY FIBERBOARDS ARE MOISTURE RESISTANT, BUT
NOT WATERPROOF.
HIGH-DENSITY FIBERBOARD HAS NO NATURAL WOOD
GRAIN
IT IS COST FRIENDLY
TYPES OF FIBER BOARDS
I NS UL ATI NG F I B E R B OARDMADE FROM THREE TYPES OF FIBER - WOOD, SUGAR,
ASBESTOS, AND BINDER, FORMED INTO A BOARD.
THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF GRADES :
INSULATING GRADE IS MADE UP FOR INSULATING,
DECORATIVE PANELSAND CEILINGS TILES.
SHEATHING GRADE IS WHERE SURFACES AND EDGES ARE
COATED WITH ASPHALT AND OR WITH FIBRES
IMPREGNATED WITH ASPHALT DURING MANUFACTURING.

GYPSUM BOARDS:
IT IS A PANEL PRESSED BETWEEN TWO THICK SHEETS OF
PAPER.
IT IS USED TO MAKE INTERIOR WALLS AND CEILINGS.
IT IS FIXED USING GLUE, ALUMINIUM OR PLASTIC
MOLDINGS.
STRAW BOARDS:
MADE UP OF COMPRESSED WHEAT STRAW, PROCESSED AT
350-400 DEGREE F.
IT IS MADE UP OF 100% WASTE STRAWS.
USED FOR NON-BEARING PARTITIONS, PLASTER BASE,
ROOF DECKING, EXTERIOR SHEATHING AND OTHER
INSULATION PURPOSES.
ASBESTOS CEMENT
BOARDS:
IT IS A DENSE AND RIGID BOARD THAT CONTAINS HIGH
PROPORTION OF ASBESTOS FIBERS BONDED WITH
PORTLAND CEMENT.
IT IS FIRE AND WEATHERING RESISTANT.
USED AS CORRUGATED SHEETING.
SCREWS, BOLTS SANDS AND OTHER FASTENERS SHOULD
BE USED IN INSTALLATION.
PLASTIC FOAM BOARDS:
MADE FROM POLYSTERENE AND POLYURETHANE PLASTICS
THAT ARE 40 TIMES ORIGINAL VOLUME.
THE FOAMED MATERIAL IS MOULDED INTO BOARDS FROM
0.5-3 INCH THICK BOARDS.
USED FOR INSULATION OF CONCRETE SLABS, WALLS AND
ROOF-DECKS.
THESE BOARDS HAVE HIGH COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH AND
HIGH INSULATION VALUE.
FIRE RESISTANT BOARD
(FR BOARD):
FIRE RESISTANT GYPSUM BOARDS OR ALSO KNOWN AS FR
BOARDS OFFER EXCELLENT FIRE PROTECTION DUE TO ITS
SPECIALLY MADE CORE WHICH HAS LOW CONDUCTIVITY
AND HIGH HEAT ABSORPTION.
THE CORE OF FR BOARDS CONSISTS OF AERATED GYPSUM,
GLASS FIBER AND ADDITIVES
.
FIRE RESISTANT BOARDS CAN RESIST FIRE BETWEEN 60 TO
120 MINUTES DEPENDING UPON THEIR THICKNESS AND
INSTALLATION PROCESS.
THEY CAN BE USED IN BOTH RESIDENTIAL AND
COMMERCIAL SPACES SUCH AS OFFICE SPACES, KITCHENS,
SERVER ROOMS, INVERTER ROOMS ETC.

TYPES OF JOINTS:
1. Butt Joint:
The end of a timber board
is called the “butt.”
Woodworkers forming this
joint are placing two ends
together at a right angle to
create a corner.
Mechanical fasteners such
as nails or screws are
necessary to preserve this
joinery.
TYPES OF JOINTS:
2. Mitered Butt Joint
(Miter Joint):
This joinery option
connects two butts that
get cut at an angle.
The advantage of using
this approach involves the
strength of the corner.
We get a seamless look
that does not show any
end grain.
TYPES OF JOINTS:
3. Half-Lap Joint:
Woodworkers use this joint to join two
boards together to create a flush surface.
It used most often when a connection is
needed in the middle of the timber,
although corner connections are also
possible.
Cross-lap Joinery:
If the joint forms in the middle of both
boards, it is called a cross lap joint.
TYPES OF JOINTS:
4. Biscuit Joint:
Woodworkers use this technique to
create a more robust version of the
butt joint using tongue and groove
principles.
Both ends of the timber get a slot
cut into them to hold a small wafer
that acts as a connection.
When the glue gets added to the
insert, it starts swelling until the
entire carved-out area gets filled.
TYPES OF JOINTS:
5. Half-Blind Dovetail:
Most drawers use this joint design
because it features a trapezoid
design for the pins that fit together
at the end of the timber.
Woodworkers use it to avoid having
the connection visible from the front
of the piece without compromising
their work’s strength.
TYPES OF SCREWS:
PAN HEAD SCREWS
FLAT HEAD SCREWS
WASHER HEAD SCREWS
These heads have a
rounded top and a flat
underside. These screws
are best for attaching
sheet metal, Plexiglass or
other thin materials to a
piece of wood. The flat
underside sits on top of
the surface to hold
everything together.
These screws have a flat
top and a cone-shaped
underside, allowing the
head to sink into the
wood and sit flush to the
surface.
These screws have a
rounded head with a builtin washer. They also have a
flat bottom. Washer head
screws are commonly used
in pocket hole joinery,
because the washer part
fits into the predrilled hole
and holds the two boards
together tightly.
DIFFERENT DRIVE TYPES
(OR DRILL BIT SHAPES):
PHILIPS HEAD
STAR HEAD OR TORX
SLOTTED OR FLATHEAD
This head looks like a
cross. You're likely
familiar with this style.
While better than slotted
(flathead) drives, Philips
head screws tend to
bounce out or strip as
torque increases.
These are many
woodworkers' favorite
screws. The star head
screw looks like a star
with six points. It
withstands high torque
These screws have a single
slit across the top to be
used with a flathead
screwdriver.
MAKING OF
PLYWOOD:
Plywood panels are fabricated from multiple layers or plys of
softwood veneer glued together with the grain direction of each
layer of veneer perpendicular to that of the adjacent layers.
These cross-laminated sheets of wood veneers are fastened
together with a waterproof phenol-formaldehyde resin adhesive
and cured under heat and pressure.
manufacturers produce a range of plywood products for
structure and non-structural uses suitable for both wet and dry
service conditions, including subflooring, single-layer flooring,
wall, roof and floor sheathing, structural insulated panels, webs
of wood I-joists and concrete formwork.
