The Composite Siding Story
-
Man-made boards are manufactured for use as exterior
siding from
various combinations of wood fibers, fillers,
binders and glue. These
mixtures are heated and compressed into composite
wood products.
-
When shredded wood is used the product is usually
known as O.S.B.
-
When sawdust is used the product becomes fiber
board
-
Wood pulp mixtures become hardboard
-
When these composites are intended for use as
siding an embossed
overlayment is often added to simulate the
look of wood.
-
Siding is also manufactured from various combinations
of these
composites and by the addition of Portland
Cement
