Do you know your panel boarding?

1 June 2022

We take a deep dive look at the versatility of panel boarding.

Pointless Question

Having recently come across an episode of the BBC game show Pointless, we were intrigued to see a question about panel boarding. Luckily for the contestant, he knew his stuff and won the prize by correctly answering that MDF stands for Medium Density Fibreboard.

We certainly know our panel boarding too! These often overlooked wood products are essential for all construction and renovation projects, large or small. With a range to suit all panel boarding needs, our selection is worth a look—whether you’re working on a project or brushing up on trivia.

Chipboard

The perennial favourite of builders and diy-ers, chipboard comes in a variety of sizes, thicknesses and is adapted to a range of uses. Whether that’s for larger construction projects, or as furniture grade chipboard, we offer a selection of thicknesses and sizes. We’ve ensured that we have adapted our range of sizes in chipboard sheets to fit with most requirements. We know our chipboard, and recognise what is needed. It goes without saying that all our chipboards fit with our environmental ethos of only using sustainable wood and it’s a fantastic example of utilising excess wood product.

Flooring

Flooring chipboard is again, a must-have in a construction project. New floors are easy with the tongue and groove fittings pre-cut for easy installation, and with a range of sizes to fit across varying joist measurements, we can sort all your flooring requirements. Our flooring chipboards come with PFB resistance for those wet areas, and PCX Peel Clean Xtra for keeping your project super clean.

Know your OSB from your Plywood

OSB board, or Oriented Strand Board (watch out Quiz question setters!) is a versatile alternative to plywood and is useful for structural work. Good for room divisions and roofs, we will have the measurements to fit with your plans. If plywood is your preference, we have one of the largest ranges, with Birch, Far Eastern Marine, Finnish Spruce and Hardwood faced Poplar to choose from. Plywood is excellent for joinery, shelving and boxing-in and there will be a project within you for which plywood is brilliant..
