Abstract
In a preliminary study, the gross and net calorific values of eleven veneers and engineered wood products having applications in the interior work of yachts were determined. Differences were found among the individual materials amounting to as much as 15 %. The chemical composition regarding lignin content and binder content is thought to be an essential factor of influence.
