Composite
Wood Products...

What are composite
wood products?
The term
“composite wood products” or “compowood” refers to a family of engineered wood
panels made from small wood particles pressed together with adhesives under
extreme heat and pressure and extruded to make a solid panel. The wood
particles are refined into small individual fibers to provide a smooth edge to
the products.
Composite wood products are made entirely from an advanced form of
natural wood by turning
wood waste and residuals into useful products and protect the
environment. That’s something we can all feel good about!
Uses
Composite wood products are all around us and are used to make
many of the wood products we enjoy in our everyday lives.
From
furniture to flooring, cabinets to ceilings —all of these products (and more!)
can be made better, stronger, and more economically with the help of composite
wood products.
Are they environmentally
friendly?
Composite wood products are among the most environmentally
responsible building materials available today.
They are typically made from
recycled and recovered wood waste that would otherwise be burned or thrown into
a landfill, so they allow us to make better use of our valuable natural wood
resource and optimal use of each tree.
They
reduce the greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming by locking up the
carbon dioxide naturally removed from the air by trees during their growing
cycle.
Benefits
Durability
Composite wood products provide solid, uniform strength that is
highly resistant to warping, cracking and splitting.
Quality
The smooth surface composite
wood panels offer is critical for today’s decorative surfaces.
Versatility
Composite wood products are
engineered to meet specific customer performance requirements.
Workability
Composite wood products can be
easily shaped and moulded into almost any design.
Consistency
Composite wood panels are free
from the defects and imperfections that may be found in other wood products.
Because each panel is uniform and consistent, the products made with composite
wood panels are of the same high quality.
Value
Composite
wood products typically cost much less than their solid wood counterparts. That
means you get a product that provides superior performance at an affordable
price!
Fire
Resistant
Compared
to other products in it’s class, composite wood products have excellent fire
resisting and retarding properties and typically performs better than their
solid wood counterparts.
Saves Time, just saw,
screw or nail
Composite wood panels are ready
for use. Preparation and installation time are highly reduced saving you
valuable time on your building projects.
Work with your colour
If you like to play with
colours, composite wood products affords you that opportunity. They can be
easily painted or sprayed into your preferred colour.
Composite wood
products and other materials?
Wood is a renewable resource
Wood products are made from a natural resource that is completely
renewable and sustainable. Metal, concrete and plastics, on the other hand, are
all extracted from fixed, non–renewable sources.
Wood is environmentally benign
Wood products take less energy to produce,
create fewer harmful by–products, can be reused or recycled, and have a lesser
environmental impact over their life–cycle than other building materials.
Wood is biodegradable
Wood products are completely biodegradable when their service
life is done. Try saying that about metal, concrete, plastics and PVCs! Within
the family of wood products, composite wood panels are an especially good
choice. Their engineered nature means that a user can match a panel to a
specific application and need.

We
aren’t cutting more trees to make composite wood products—we’re making better
use of the ones we already have.
