Description
A man-made, flat, thin, stiff material that is typically is longer than it is wide. Commonly used in construction and packaging, boards were originally composed of wood. Currently, a wide variety of less expensive materials are used to provide specific properties and surfaces. Thus, this website provides further information as well as many comparative tables for each board type.
