(d) Blockboard
Blockboard is made with wood glue lat, coat the opposing side and a second side surface with a sheet finir. Wood lath width is not greater than 25 mm. Blockbord has two types namely melamine coating and ordinary. Artificial board is commonly used in the construction of doors, wall panels, skating room and floor coatings.
