• Legno (massiccio, compensati, panforti, listellari, multistrati, lamellari, tamburati)
= hardwood, plywood, *panforti, blockboards, multilayer wood, lamellar wood, veneered wood

Panforte is a type of wood but I have no clue how it is translated into English. It is similar to plywood as far as I know.

CARATTERISTICHE

Il pannello listellare è formato da due superfici ricavate da uno o più sfogliati (che sono successivamente placcate o noblilitate) e da un inserto centrale costituito da listelli di legno segato incollati tra loro. La gamma di prodotti da noi commercializzata è molto vasta per provenienza, formati e specie legnosa di partenza per la fabbricazione. Il pannello listellare viene principalmente impiegato nella produzione di mobili, arredi e stipiti di porte.

neutral  TranslationCe: Why would you leave it in Italian? Can you provide any references where the term is left in Italian?

  -> If you read carefully, I did say 'let's wait for our colleagues' as mine was just an emergency solution (level 2!), in case it was a type of wood which is available only in Italy. If so, I would have suggested "'panforte' wood" as a solution, but not now.

Asker: Chipboard e' truciolare. L'ho trovato nello stesso testo e quindi non lo posso usare per panforte.

agree  Colin Rowe: I believe "block board" and "wood core plywood" are at least highly similar, if not the same.
