Buying advice

Choose the board that matches your project's environment: use cement board or blueboard in wet areas, plywood or OSB for structural needs, and MDF or particleboard for interior finish work where cost is a priority. Consider moisture resistance, load-bearing requirements, and finish surface when selecting.
