Abstract

A moisture impermeable edge reinforced wood composite structural system includes a wood composite panel having opposing faces, at least one moisture impermeable reinforcement edge, and at least one moisture impermeable reinforcement perimeter zone. The perimeter zone is a coating of a moisture impermeable reinforcement/resin matrix material which provides the structural system with improved fastener performance and reduced panel edge swell as a result of moisture exposure.
