The method of this invention adheres a low emissivity radiant barrier material to an underlying lignocellulosic substrate within the primary manufacturing operation of the underlying lignocellulosic substrate. Thus, a radiant barrier covered substrate is formed by integrally joining the radiant barrier covering to a mat of lignocellulosic material during consolidation thereof with a first adhesive bonding material to form an underlying substrate. The integral joining operation can, for example, be accomplished by bonding the radiant barrier covering to a lignocellulosic mat in a product formation press. This is typically accomplished using a second adhesive bonding material for adhesion of the radiant barrier material to the lignocellulosic mat, and a first adhesive bonding material for consolidating the lignocellulosic mat to form a lignocellulosic substrate. More specifically, this invention is directed to a method whereby a low emissivity radiant barrier material is joined in situ to a mat of lignocellulosic particles using a second adhesive material, during the consolidation of the lignocellulosic particles and a first adhesive bonding material to form an underlying substrate, an integral laminated radiant barrier covered lignocellulosic product being produced.

Excellent fade resistance and a substantial reduction in whitening can unexpectedly be achieved by adding colorant pigments to polymer-cellulose materials which form the polymer-wood composites, prior to formation of the composites. Then, the outer surface of the polymer-wood composites including the colorant pigments are distressed. The addition of the colorant pigments to the polymer-cellulose materials, combined with the distressing of the surface of the composites formed therefrom, results in an unexpected reduction in the unacceptable level of whitening and/or fading mentioned above which has not taken place in polymer-wood composites which include either a per se colorant pigment addition or which have been subject to a per se surface distressing operation.

A method is provided for forming a durable, smooth-sided, multi-layer integral, composite engineered panel. The method typically is directed to first forming a mat comprising a plurality of layers of lignocellulosic strands or wafers. The plurality of layers of lignocellulosic strands or wafers are bonded together by an adhesive material. Then, at least one layer of smaller particles of lignocellulosic material is formed on the mat. This layer of smaller particles is blended together with an adhesive material thereby joining the layer of smaller particles to at least one outer surface of the mat. Next, at least one sheet of paper is joined to an outer layer of smaller particles of lignocellulosic material. This step takes place during the formation of the multi-layer integral, composite engineered panel. Finally, a substantially smooth outer surface is formed, upon pressing, in at least one surfaces of the multi-layer integral, composite engineered panel.
