Discover TrendWood’s premium wood-based interior panel substrate types, from low formaldehyde plywood and MDF to OSB and waterproof compact boards—engineered for durability, safety and refined interior performance.
Low Formaldehyde Plywood
Engineered plywood manufactured with reduced formaldehyde emissions, offering structural stability and safer indoor air quality for interior applications.
Low Formaldehyde Heavy Plywood
High-density plywood with reduced formaldehyde emissions, delivering enhanced load-bearing strength and long-term dimensional stability.
Low Formaldehyde Block Board
Core board constructed with solid wood strips and low-emission adhesives, providing excellent screw-holding capacity and resistance to warping.
Anti-Termite Plywood
Chemically treated plywood designed to resist termite infestation, ensuring long-lasting durability in humid and pest-prone environments.
Fire-Resistance Plywood
Specially treated plywood formulated to slow flame spread and improve fire performance in regulated interior installations.
Oriented Strand Board (OSB)
Engineered wood panel made from compressed wood strands arranged in layers, offering consistent strength and structural reliability.
Medium Density Fibreboard (MDF)
Uniform fibreboard manufactured from refined wood fibres, providing smooth surfaces ideal for painting, laminating, and detailed machining.
Waterproof Compact Board
High-pressure laminated compact board engineered for superior moisture resistance, suitable for wet areas and heavy-duty interior use.
