Composition boards made from wood are usually classified by fiber size (largest to smallest): Waferboard, strandboard, flakeboard, Particle board, and Fiberboard. Other types of boards include: Asbestos Air Cell board, Homasote®, Gypsum board, Sheetrock®, and Sackett board.
Synonyms and Related Terms
