Wood strip is a term used to describe thin strips of wood that are used in various construction projects. The two most common types of wood strip are SLAT and LATH, both of which are four letters long. Slats are thin, narrow strips of wood that are used for flooring, fencing, and other applications. Laths are wider strips of wood that are used as a backing material for plaster or stucco walls. Both slats and laths are essential components of many construction projects.
