Warp and twist can be defined as any deformation of panel shape from a flat plane and frequently results from exposure to moisture or humid conditions. Warpage and twist is generally considered to be less of a problem for composite panels than for solid wood products since any movement in one layer tends to be counterbalanced by that of other layers. However increased consumer demand for specific panel thickness and face species and the need for panel manufacturers to control costs has resulted in some panel products giving less than optimum performance. While many research papers on composite panels discuss warp and twist few have featured these as the main objective. This study has attempted to review the current level of knowledge in published literature. The consensus opinion in the published material is that for a panel to resist warp and twist, the construction must be balanced in species, density, grain orientation, layer thickness and moisture level.
