   STEP 1- PREPARTION: The logs are classfied by
species and stored in log yard and they are kept
under optimal humidity conditions  by soaking them
in water.
   STEP 2- DEBARKING: The bark is peeled of while
ensuring that eveness is maintained.
   STEP 3- BOILING: In order to ensure uniform
slicing,the logs are kept in steamers at temp of 80-
100c for period of 18 to 72 hrs.
   STEP 4- SLICING /PEELING: There are 2 types of
machines- horizontal/vertical slicing to obtain thin
wood sheets.
   STEP 5- DRYING: The veneers which are still moist
are dried in a jet drier which also has the effect of
flattening them.

LAYING
STEP 1: Selecting a section of the veneer that is free from any
cracks or defects
STEP 2: Cutitng the veneer according to dimensions and mark
the required size on the sheet accounting half an inch extra on
each side.
STEP 3: Applying the adhesive on the top side of veneer by usinf
spreader,spread out the adhesive nicely and all over it.
STEP 4: Aligning the wood veneer sheets and the substrate and
sticking the sheets carefully on the surface. 
STEP 5: By using roller maximum pressure is applied. This is done
so as to remove any air bubbles and extra glue
STEP 6: Allowing the piece to dry completely for 24 hours before
finishing it. For perfect finish sandpaper must be used to refine
the surface 
STEP 7: Once the wood veneer sheets are applied to the
substrate properly, they are polished to make them shiny and
improve the durability
VENEERS
POLISHING
• STEP 1: Sanding the rough surface to make it smooth
• STEP 2: Wood Conditioner (a solvent) is used that absorbs
stains evenly from the veneer.
• STEP 3: To further absorb stains and give the veneer a
natural wood look, wood wax is applied. The veneer is then
wiped off with a cloth to remove the excess stain and
solution.
• STEP 4: A polish solution is applied to the veneer with the
help of a spray machine. To get the desired shade and effect,
this step is repeated several times.

TYPES OF FINISHES:
• Melamine : 100 Rs / sqft
• Polyurethane(pu): 200 Rs / sqft

• STEP 1- SOAKING IN RESINS: The brown paper
(craft paper) that is going to form the bottom side or
base of the laminate as well as the decorative printed
paper are soaked and saturated with melamine resin.
• STEP 2 - DRYING THE PAPERS: The soaked
papers are allowed to dry. 
• STEP 3- HIGH PRESSURE PRESSING AND
BONDING: These papers are hard pressed together
under high pressure and temperature.
• STEP 4- SANDING: The non-decorative side the
bottom side (non-decorative side) is uniformly
sanded by a sanding machine. the sanding process
makes this surface better suited for adhesion to
surfaces.
• STEP 5: TESTING, PACKING, SHIPPING
LAMINATES
LAMINATES

LAYING
• STEP 1: Ensuring that the surface of plywood and laminate is
clean, dry and levelled.
• STEP 2: Using white PVA adhesive to stick the sheets. Applying
double layer of adhesive on edge (min3-4 inch) of both the
surfaces.
• STEP 3: Once adhesive is applied after 5 min – 10 min , the
laminate is placed on the surface, accurately aligned.
• STEP 4: Rolling: Pinch rollers (rotary press) and heavy
weighted rollers are ideal. Hand rolling is done from the center
to the edges to ensure the removal of air bubbles. The edges
are rolled twice.
• STEP 5: For satisfactory bonding, the area in question is kept
under pressure for a period of 12-18 hours.
• STEP 6: A gap of minimum 2 mm is maintained between two
laminates while pasting side by side.
LAMINATES
TYPES
• Decorative laminates – These have greater aesthetic
appeal in terms of finishes and patterns. Decorative
laminates can be used for doing ornamental overlays on
furniture.
• Industrial laminates – These have higher strength and
are more resistant to wear and tear. They include high-
performance laminates which are fire retardant,
antibacterial and chemical resistant for application in
hospitals and other industries.
• Compact laminates – These fairly thick ones are self-
supporting and do not need to be glued to any other
material.
• Post formed laminates – These flexible versions are
thinner than regular laminates. They are used to wrap
around tables, columns etc.
• High-pressure and low-pressure laminates – Differing
only in the pressure with which the laminate is applied
on a substrate, HPL is usually used with plywood while
LPL finds its use with MDF.

USES
• Used in furniture, cabinet doors, shelves,
mirrors, lightings, etc.

MARKET
• Price: Rs.220 / sqft
ACRYLIC SHEETS
MANUFACTURING
METHOD 1 - EXTRUSION:
• Pellets of resins are fed into an extruder which heats them until they are a molten mass.
• This mass is then forced through a die as a molten sheet.
• The molten sheet is fed to calender rolls
• The continuous band of sheet may then be cut or trimmed into its final size.
ACRYLIC SHEETS
MANUFACTURING
METHOD 2 - CONTINUOUS CASTING:
• Pouring of partially polymerized acrylic between two
highly polished stainless steel belts.
• The belts are separated by a space equal to the
thickness of the sheet and the syrup is retained by
gaskets at the edge of the belts. The belts move
through a series of cooling and heating units to
regulate the curing and are cut to size at the end of
the production line.
METHOD 3 - CELL CASTING:
• Acrylic syrup is poured into a mold typically
constructed from two tempered glass sheets
separated to produce the desired thickness of the
sheet and sealed with a gasket at the edge.
• It is then cured using a water bath or an air oven to
obtain a sheet.

GYPSUM BOARD
What is Gypsum Board?
• Gypsum board, commonly known as drywall, is the technical product name used by manufacturers
for a specific board with a gypsum core and a paper facing.

• Gypsum board is the premier building material for wall, ceiling, and partition systems in residential,
institutional, and commercial structures and is designed to provide a monolithic surface when joints
and fastener heads are covered with a joint treatment system.

•Gypsum board is different from other panel-type

building products, such as plywood, hardboard, and
fibreboard, because of its non-combustible core and
paper facers.

•Gypsum wall board creates a continuous surface that

suitable for most types of interior decoration to join
together.
GYPSUM BOARD
Gypsum Board Uses:

•The ability of gypsum to give a comfortable and aesthetic ambiance as a construction material
increases the demands of gypsum.

•It is a natural product that is commonly available. It is free of odor.

•Nowadays most of the interior and exterior construction features are mostly prepared by gypsum
construction or gypsum products.

•The advancement of gypsum construction in a continuous process is due to its time and cost of
construction.

•With an increase in time, gypsum products gain more properties like increased fire resistance,
acoustic properties for noise insulation, etc.
GYPSUM BOARD
Types of Gypsum Board
1. Drywall White Board
•Drywall is normally white on one side and brown on the other side.

•It is probably the most economical drywall type and comes in different sizes
ranging in thickness from 3/8 inches to one inch. This is the most usual type used
and is normally available in the market in four by eight feet panels.

2. Fire-Resisting Gypsum Board

•A Fire-resisting gypsum board provides good fire protection in buildings due
to the unique behaviour of the gypsum core when exposed to fire.

3. Water-Resistant Gypsum Board

•This type comes with a water-resistant gypsum core and water-repellent face
paper. It may be used as a base for wall tile in baths, showers, and other areas
subject to wetting.

•Used as a covering material for interior walls and ceilings in residential and
commercial buildings.
GYPSUM BOARD
Manufacturing Process Of Gypsum Board
GYPSUM BOARD
Advantages of Gypsum Board
1. Gives smooth surface: It is used in plaster material if properly done would provide us
with a smooth white finish, which is free of cracks, lumps as well as scars. This is the
main property and feature when it comes to indoor finishing.

2. Balancing the indoor atmosphere: They have a natural power of balancing the indoor
climate as well as humidity & temperature.
It is environmentally friendly.
It has high thermal and acoustic insulation.

3. It provides good aesthetic and functional features: 

4. Ease of installation: Using gypsum products for internal wall construction, we just need
to fix the frame and fill up the joints. The full process is clean, easy, and fast, and also skilled
laborers are not required for installation. The use of gypsum plaster as a final finish
minimizes the work of additional painting. The white finish itself gives a clean appearance.

5. Variety of gypsum products: A large number of products of gypsum are available in the
market to meets several practical and aesthetic requirements.
GYPSUM BOARD
Disadvantages of Gypsum Board
•Gypsum cannot be used for outside walls since they retain dampness.
•Also gypsum plastering cannot be done in areas which are continuously
damp such as bathroom etc.,

•Gypsum is costlier than traditional cement motor plaster (cement and

sand) for same thickness of plaster. But in areas where natural/river sand
is not available for construction, cement mortar plastering would require
a 6 mm gypsum layer to finish it making cement plaster more costly.

•Gypsum boards include difficulty in curved surface application and low

durability when damage from impact or friction occurs.
 PLYWOOD
• :Plywood is an engineered wood made by glueing together thin veneer sheets with a resin under
high pressure. Thus creating a thick, strong and flexible flat sheet.
• It is usually mostly preferred as it is cheaper than wood and doesn’t get warped or shrink in the
long run.

 PLYWOOD
:
STRUCTURAL OR SHEATHING
PLYWOOD:
• These are known for their strength and hence used for
framing and constructing structures where the wood
will be eventually covered.
• Strong adhesive is needed for keeping the plies
together.
• They are inexpensive, generally have a C or D grade,
and are not resistant to weather.
• That is, it’s not waterproof. Since it’s not treated with
chemicals it is not rot-resistant. However, it is a good-
quality, hardwood plywood made with waterproof
glue.

GREEN LEAF PLYWOOD:

These are sourced from reliable vendors and used in furnishing of
ceilings, floor, furniture parts, modular kitchen, wall panels, panel
inserts and partitions
PLYWOOD
:
PROS:

• Plywood is constructed of layers of wood glued together at right angles,

which gives it its strength. This layering make the planks resistant to
warping, cracking and twisting, making it ideal for use in construction.

• In addition to its strength, plywood is less expensive than similar boards

made of full wood species, which makes it ideal as a construction
planking material.

CONS:

The layering effect in plywood makes it porous and susceptible to water

damage if exposed over time. Plywood becomes heavy when wet and
should be covered if left outside to reduce the risk of water damage.
PARTICLE BOARD
 SINGLE LAYER PARTICLE BOARD
• Single layer particle board consists of wood
particles of same sizes which are pressed
together.
• It is a flat and dense board which can be
veneered or plastic laminated but not
painted.
• This is a water-resistant type of particle
board but is not waterproof. Single layer
particle boards are suitable for interior
applications.
 THREE-LAYER PARTICLE BOARD
• Three-layer particle board consists of a layer NINE TYPES OF BOARD THAT ARE:
of large wood particles sandwiched 1. Chips
between two layers made of very small and 2. Flake
highly dense wood particles. 3. Wafer
• The amount of resin in the outer layer is 4. Sawdust
more than in the inner layer. 5. Excelsior
• The smooth surface of a three-layer particle 6. Sliver
board is ideal for painting. 7. Strand
8. Shaving
9. Fibre
PARTICLE BOARD
 PARTICLE BOARD

PROS OF PARTICLE BOARD

1. LOW COST - The main pro of particle board over plywood is that its cost is very
low.
2. Readymade furniture - particle board are machine manufactured to desired
dimensions and thus standard pieces of furniture can be mass produced using these
boards.
3. Pre-laminated boards - A thin layer of lamination is usually glued over the surface
of the particle boards at the time they are manufactured.
4. Light Weight - Particle boards are very light in weight and hence furniture made
from these boards is relatively easy to transport and move around.
CONS OF PARTICLE BOARD

1. Low on strength-particle board furniture is quite weak compared to other kinds

of engineered woods such as plywood.
2. Low life, low durability-Apart from being low on strength, particle boards are also
prone to getting damaged because of moisture and humidity.
3. Cannot support Heavy loads4. Not as eco-friendly as solid wood furniture - Particle
boards are made from small particles of wood such as saw dust and small chips
which are glued and pressed together to form a sheet. This is not as eco-friendly as
using good quality solid wood furniture that is 100% natural.
 MEDIUM DENSITY FIBERBOARD OR
MDF:
• Medium-density fibreboard (MDF) is a composite wood
product made of compressed wood fibres, mixed with
wax and resin.
• MDF is similar to particleboard and hardboard, it is
known for its strength, smooth surface and edges and
affordable pricing.
• MDF wood fiber can be obtained from any species of
wood or wood residues and agricultural wastes such as
sawdust or wood shavings.
• The wood fibers are dehydrated before being used to
make MDF boards.

MDF MANUFACTURING:
• Wood is first chipped into fine particles.
• These are then mixed with adhesives.
• This mixture is pressed into sheets
• The sheets are sanded.
• Then cut into standard sizes.
TYPES:
INTERIOR GRADE MDF
• Most common, and cheapest is standard interior grade
material.
• This is suitable for most internal applications where
moisture is not a consideration.

EXTERIOR GRADE MDF

• Other grades of MDF include Moisture Resistant for use
in areas of moderate moisture.
• Exterior grade MDF can be used externally for cladding or
signage work.

APPLICATION OF MDF:
• Cabinet doors and drawer fronts
• Internal cabinet carcasses
• Kitchen cabinets
• Display cabinets
• Exhibition plinths
• Lettering & Logos
• Exterior signage
• Exterior cladding
• Bookshelves
• All types of furniture
ADVANTAGES:
• MDF is affordable and cost-effective compared to others
like ply-wood.
• Because it has no rough edges, it is an ideal material for
building showpieces.
• It has a smooth surface that is ideal for inserting color.
Can be painted to produce a smooth quality surface. Oil,
water-based paints and varnishes may be used on MDF 

DISADVANTAGES
• MDF acts like a sponge near water or. It absorbs moisture
fast and can swell in length and width if it is not
appropriately protected.
• MDF has a smooth surface, which is terrible in holding
screws.
