Formation & geological history
Manufactured through the compression of wood fibers or the bonding of thin wood veneers with adhesives, commonly produced during the mid-to-late 20th century for residential interiors.
Uses & applications
Used primarily for interior wall coatings and home decoration to simulate the look of solid wood walls at a lower cost.
Geological facts
This type of paneling was extremely popular in suburban home construction between the 1950s and 1980s. It is often referred to as 'basement chic' or 'retro paneling'.
