Build Smarter with Superior Particle Boards in Melbourne

Particle Board is known as a wood panel that is exceedingly dense, affordably priced and versatile due to its core being filled with large particles and exquisite particles found within the sanded exteriors. As a result, it is also known as chipboard.

Particle Board is identified for its bonded strength and a more uniform material. As a result, it has a wide variety of uses, i.e shelving for sheds, garages, and applications where it is covered, but not to be used in areas that attract moisture, it also comes overlaid with melamine.

If you are searching for this versatile material within our quality range, we offer Standard Particle Board, Highly Moisture Resistant (HMR) and General Purpose Particle Board Flooring.

Highly Moisture Resistant (HMR) is the same as the standard version except that it is Moisture Resistant, (not waterproof). Applications for HMR are areas of high moisture, like kitchens, bathrooms and laundries. All of our board materials including HMR, are made from Pine, logged from managed and sustainable Pine forests, in Australia. The emission level of both is E0.

So, it’s important to select a particle board based on its thickness and specific usability.
