In modern construction, the trend of materials is returning to the natural and eco-friendly elements. This has increased the need for more durable, aesthetically pleasing and sustainable building materials. Finger Joint Laminated Board (FJLB) emerges as an innovative solution that combines strength, efficiency, natural aesthetics and sustainability. FJLB, as Cipta Jaya Wood’s flagship product, offers a resilient, aesthetic, and eco-friendly solution for various construction projects, both local and international.
What is Finger Joint Laminated Board?
Finger-Joint Laminated Board is a wood board made from a series of wood pieces arranged with advanced technology and finger-jointing techniques. Shorter pieces of wood are connected in a finger-like pattern to form a strong joint. Afterward, the layers of wood are glued together to create a larger, stronger, and more uniform board.
In Indonesia, especially Sumatra, Cipta Jaya Wood is one of the leading manufacturers that has been operating since 1980, has been producing FJLB using certified sustainably managed merkusii pine. The company’s commitment to quality and sustainability not only ensures that the products meet international standards, but also helps support global efforts in reducing the environmental impact of the construction industry.
Advantages of Finger Joint Laminated Board
Material Efficiency and Minimal Waste
One of the main advantages of Finger-Joint Laminated Board (FJLB) is its efficiency in material usage. The manufacturing process utilizes small pieces of wood that would normally become waste in conventional wood production. The finger-jointing technique ensures that each piece of wood can be reused.
Proven Strength
Although made from small pieces of wood, FJLB is by no means weaker than solid wood. On the contrary, the finger joint technique results in a very strong and stable product. The lamination process further strengthens these boards, making them more durable than conventional wood materials. With this strength, FJLB is suitable for various applications that require high durability, such as in furniture, wall paneling, or other interior products.
Resistant to Cracks and Curved Surfaces
Since FJLB is glued with high pressure, it is more resistant to weather and moisture changes. FJLB has good resistance to surface warping and cracking, which is usually a problem with solid wood when exposed to changes in temperature or humidity. This stability makes FJLB a more durable material, suitable for use in varied environmental conditions.
Environmentally Friendly
FJLB plays an important role in reducing environmental impact. Wood is a renewable material if managed properly, and the finger-jointed process allows for more optimal utilization of wood. By supporting sustainable forest management practices and reforestation, FJLB aligns with global efforts to reduce carbon footprints and maintain a balanced forest ecosystem.
Types of Wood Used in Finger-Joint Laminated Board (FJLB)
Finger-Joint Laminated Board (FJLB) can be manufactured from various types of wood, each with different characteristics that affect the strength, aesthetics, and usability of the material. Here are some of the common types of wood used in the manufacture of FJLBs:
1.Pine Wood
Pine wood, such as merkusii pine is one of the most common types of wood used in FJLBs. This wood is known for its good strength and flexibility. It is durable and easy to work with. Pine is also a light wood with uniform fibers, resulting in stable yet sturdy boards.
2.Meranti Wood
Meranti wood is a tropical wood that is often used in various construction applications. Meranti wood is similar in properties to merbau wood in that it has a high degree of hardness, but the meranti wood species, although hard, is light in weight. This wood is quite strong and stable at a competitive price. Meranti wood is also relatively easy to process and process.
3.Teak Wood
Teak wood is a tropical wood that is very well known for its strength and resistance to moisture. It has a distinctive golden brown color. Teak wood is resistant to water, decay, and insect attack. Teak wood also has an elegant and luxurious appearance.
Cipta Jaya Wood now uses selected certified merkusii pine wood as the main material in the manufacture of FJLB because of its superior characteristics, strong and durable.

Future Challenges and Prospects
Although Finger Joint Laminated Board has many advantages, the main challenge faced is the consumer perception of engineered wood. Some people still think that solid wood is superior to engineered wood such as FJLB. However, with proper education and increased awareness of the importance of sustainability, FJLB has the potential to become a mainstream material in the future.
In addition, technological developments in wood processing continue, allowing products such as FJLBs to become increasingly strong, durable and versatile. With the global focus on green development, FJLB has bright prospects to become an integral part of future construction solutions.
Finger Joint Laminated Board presents many advantages that make it a top choice in sustainable and aesthetic construction. It combines high strength, flexibility in design, and lower environmental impact, thus providing an effective solution to modern construction needs.
Cipta Jaya Wood is committed to quality and sustainable practices, playing an important role in promoting the use of FJLB in various projects, both in Indonesia and in the global market.
