Wood frame construction is made up of nominal 2‐in. framing members spaced closely together and normally concealed by interior finish materials such as gypsum board or wood paneling. Wood product substrates are classified in two main facing material categories: decorative laminates/overlays and wood veneers. The strength of wood varies with the duration of the load. As a natural product wood varies greatly in appearance and structural properties. Composite and engineered wood salvaged from lumber production make use of wasted materials. Wood and wood products may be finished with transparent or opaque coatings or serve as a base for applied plastic laminates. Thermoplastic sheets are semi‐rigid sheets or rolls, stock‐extruded from a nonporous acrylic/polyvinyl chloride alloy. High‐pressure decorative laminates are formed under heat and pressure from resin‐impregnated kraft paper substrates with decorative plastic face materials and a clear protective top sheet.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
