Abstract:
1. A method of manufacturing a wood-based siding, comprising: prepressing a material that consists of a monolayer mat consisting essentially of wood particles having an average size that is the same size or less than wood particles that have been pressed through a 4 mm×4 mm square mesh and a resin, the prepressing at least partially removing air therefrom; and embossing and pressing under heat and pressure in a press adapted to impart an embossing pattern to at least one surface of said siding, in a single step, the material that consists of the prepressed monolayer mat so as to obtain an embossed monolayer particleboard siding consisting essentially of said resin and wood particles and having said embossing pattern on at least one surface, wherein said wood particles exclude the presence of refined wood fibers and wherein said mat comprises about 0.5% to about 20% of the resin, based on the dry wood particles weight.
