Medium Density Fiberboard PANEL M EDIUM DENSITY FIBERBOARD M edium Density Fiberboard (MDF) is widely used in the manufacture of furniture, kitchen cabinets, door parts, mouldings, millwork and laminate flooring. MDF panels are manufactured with a variety of physical properties and dimensions, providing the opportunity to design the end product with the specificMD F needed. MDF is a composite panel product typically consisting of cellulosic fibers combined with a ➊ synthetic resin or other suitable bonding system, joined together under heat and pressure. Additives may be introduced during manufacturing to impart additional characteristics. The surface of MDF is flat, smooth, uniform, dense, and free of knots and grain patterns. The homogeneous density profile of MDF allows intricate ➎ and precise machining and finishing techniques for superior finished products. Trim waste is ➏ significantly reduced when using MDF compared to other substrates. Stability and strength are important assets of MDF, which can be machined ➋ into complex patterns that require precise tolerances. ➌ ➍ 10 subscribe online at www.surfaceandpanel.com M EDIUM DENSITY FIBERBOARD COMMON USES D OORS, JAMBS & MILLWORK LAMINATING & FINISHING EDGE ShAPING & MACHINING MOULDING EMBOSSING OFFICE & RESIDENTIAL FURNITURE KITCHEN CABINETS PANELING LAMINATE FLOORING ➐ STORE FIXTURES ➑ ENGINEERED FOR THE FUTURE • 100% POST-INDUSTRIAL RECYCLED FIBRE Sustainable Forestry Initiative® 1ST NORTH (SFI)Certified AMERICAN • 100% NO ADDED FORMALDEHYDE (NAF) MDF MILL TO BE 100% NAF • ALL PRODUCTS ARE CARB EXEMPT Post-Industrial Recycled Wood Fiber West Fraser is committed to producing MDF panels MDF IS THE PERFECT SOLID WOOD and programs designed to meet the changing needs SUBSTITUTE.

  • Masonite Siding 101: Why It's Bad News
    Moving into a new home is a great feeling of accomplishment. Fixer-uppers have been a trend in the real estate market for some time now, and for a great reason. Often minor cosmetic adjustments to homes can have a major impact. But what happens when you find a problem that isn’t so DIY-friendly? Discovering masonite siding, also known as "fiberboard" or "hardboard", may unearth more serious problems for an older home. Masonite Siding 101: Hardboard is an engineered wood product that is comparable to particle board. This product is made from compressed wood fibers so it does not have a grain like solid wood. However, a wood veneer may be formatted over the product so it appears to be solid. If you’re unsure if your siding is in fact masonite, check unfinished areas like the attic for manufacturer’s markings. Another way to tell that your home has Masonite is the way that it is deteriorating -- look for flakes, curls and swelling in damaged areas. Masonite is know for extensive use in various industries for its durability and flexibility. During the 1980s and 1990s this product was used as exterior siding for many new construction homes. It was widely used for its low cost compared to regular siding material. Why It's Bad News: As one could imagine, a product with fibers is easily susceptible to moisture damage. The compression process often leaves only one side of the product smooth which proves to be a greater risk for water issues. Over time, masonite swells and rots if continuously exposed to the elements.

  • The Miracle Resource Eco-Link
    Since 1989 Eco-Link Linking Social, Economic, and Ecological Issues The Miracle Resource Volume 14, Number 1 In the children’s book “The Giving Tree” by Shel Silverstein the main character is shown to beneÞ t in several ways from the generosity of one tree. The tree is a source of recreation, commodities, and solace. In this parable of giving, one is impressed by the wealth that a simple tree has to offer people: shade, food, lumber, comfort. And if we look beyond the wealth of a single tree to the benefits that we derive from entire forests one cannot help but be impressed by the bounty unmatched by any other natural resource in the world. That’s why trees are called the miracle resource. The forest is a factory where trees manufacture wood using energy from the sun, water and nutrients from the soil, and carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. In healthy growing forests, trees produce pure oxygen for us to breathe. Forests also provide clean air and water, wildlife habitat, and recreation opportunities to renew our spirits. Forests, trees, and wood have always been essential to civilization. In ancient Mesopotamia (now Iraq), the value of wood was equal to that of precious gems, stones, and metals. In Mycenaean Greece, wood was used to feed the great bronze furnaces that forged Greek culture. Rome’s monetary system was based on silver which required huge quantities of wood to convert ore into metal. For thousands of years, wood has been used for weapons and ships of war. Nations rose and fell based on their use and misuse of the forest resource.

  • Itening Guide
    itening Guide There are three essential tasks involved in the making of any woodwork project. The first is to cut out and shape the components; the second is the joining of those components; and the third and final task is the finishing of the article. This appendix provides you with information about the best ways to fasten your workpieces together, to ensure your project's long life. The options are between adhesives, nails, screws and bolts. NAILS Nailing is a quick, efficient and economical way of joining timber. lf the correct nails are chosen, there is no reason why the joints should not be durable. Timber framed houses, with most of the framing just nailed together, have stood the test of time. The listing of nail types that follows provides an overview of commonly used nails. This listing is not complete - nails exist for specific purposes such as boat-building, but these are outside the requirements of the normal handyman. _ Nail Types: Gommon Bullet Head: Used for hardwood framing and general fixing. Flat Head: Used for softwood framing, fixing softwoods or anywhere bullet heads would tend to pull through. Wire Brads: Small bullet head nails, used for attaching decorative mouldings. Clouts: Small nails with a relatively large flat head, used for attaching thin sheet material. Nail Types: Special Purpose Tacks: Used principally for upholstery; commonly blue- black in colour. Panel Pins: Used for fixing plywood panelling to timber framing; "brown" plated. Hardboard Nails: Used to attach hardboard ("masonite"); generally zinc plated. Plaster Board Used for fixing plasterboard to timber framing; Nails: zinc plated.

  • A Future Vision for Optimally Using Wood and Biomass
    June 2008:Forest Products 6/5/08 9:09 PM Page 6 Integrated Biomass Technologies: AA Future Future Vision Vision for for Optimally Using Abstract Exciting new opportunities are emerging for sustainably meeting many global energy needs and simultaneously creating high­value bio­based consumer and construction products from wood, forest and agricultural residues, and other bio­based materials. In addition to traditional value­added bio­ based products, such as lumber, paper, paperboard, and composites, opportunities are now on the hori­ zon for biorefining to produce electricity, transportation fuels, chemical feedstocks, syngas, and nanocrystalline cellulose. In the near future, nanocrystalline cellulose, produced as a high­value by­prod­ uct from the biorefining process, could likely compete with carbon fiber for use in innovative high­ strength biocomposites. The holistic view of how to achieve both traditional and new high­value materi­ als with enhanced performance properties from renewable resources is called Integrated Biomass Technologies. This concept promotes the use of sustainable, bio­based, environmentally neutral (or even beneficial) technologies to meet global demands for building and materials end uses, chemicals, and energy. This concept provides a systematic approach for maximizing value, performance, resource sus­ tainability, and improving profitability in the agriculture and forest products industries. 6 JUNE 2008 June 2008:Forest Products 6/5/08 9:09 PM Page 7 By Jerrold E.
