When it comes to affordable, durable, and versatile sheet materials, chipboard is one of the most popular choices in construction. At Builders Megastore, we supply a wide range of chipboard products suitable for flooring, furniture, and general joinery. Known for its smooth surface, consistent strength, and cost-effectiveness, chipboard is widely used in both domestic and commercial building projects.
What is Chipboard?
Chipboard is an engineered wood product made by compressing wood chips, shavings, and sawdust with a resin binder under high pressure. The result is a dense, strong, and stable board that is ideal for use in flooring systems and furniture production.
Thanks to its uniform texture, chipboard is easy to cut and work with, making it a go-to option for carpenters, builders, and DIY enthusiasts. It is often chosen as a cost-effective alternative to solid wood or plywood in areas where strength and stability are required.
What is Chipboard Flooring?
One of the most common applications of chipboard is in chipboard flooring. Specifically designed tongue-and-groove boards interlock neatly, creating a stable and even surface that is perfect for both domestic and commercial flooring projects.
Chipboard flooring is:
- Strong and load-bearing – suitable for use in lofts, upper floors, and suspended floors.
- Easy to install – tongue-and-groove joints make laying simple and quick.
- Cost-effective – provides excellent value without compromising on performance.
- Available in moisture-resistant grades – ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, and areas exposed to damp conditions.
