Engineered wood, sometimes known as composite wood, is created by binding together layers of wood fibers or particles with adhesives to form a solid, stable material. Unlike solid wood, which is cut directly from trees, engineered wood is produced in a controlled environment where the properties of the material can be precisely managed. This process typically involves layering wood fibers or particles in various orientations and applying adhesives to create a strong, durable product. The result is a material that retains the aesthetic appeal of real wood while enhancing its performance characteristics.
