Particleboard Raw
Particleboard is a versatile engineered wood product made from wood particles bonded together with synthetic resins. Typically crafted in Australia from sustainably managed plantation pine, particleboard offers a cost-effective and environmentally friendly solution for various applications. It comes in a wide range of sheet sizes, providing flexibility for different projects and requirements.

White Melamine Particleboard
White Melamine Particleboard is a highly versatile interior panel commonly employed in various shelving, furniture, and joinery applications. It typically consists of a particleboard substrate overlaid with white decorative paper on one or both sides. In some cases, one long edge is also edged for a more finished appearance. This type of panel offers a clean, modern aesthetic and is valued for its durability and ease of maintenance.

When used for general shelving in wet areas or spaces with high relative humidity, it is advisable to use a moisture resistant (MR) particleboard substrate. The current Australian Standard for Melamine on a Particleboard accepts minor imperfections on one face of the overlaid panel based on visual grading. Where an application or specification is sensitive to imperfections in the face, it is recommended to visually inspect any board for suitability prior to use. Routine cleaning simply involves wiping with a clean, damp soft cloth. Never use abrasive cleaners, scourer pads (eg: wire or copper cleaning pads) or sandpaper, or subject to excessive wetting.

Particleboard Flooring
Particleboard flooring has been a staple in the Australian market for many years, valued for its affordability and durability in residential and light commercial construction. It’s fast and easy to install, making it a popular choice for builders and homeowners alike. Available in three different thicknesses, particleboard flooring panels can be chosen as untreated or termite-treated (H2) options to suit various construction needs.
Overview
| Applications | Particleboard Flooring is a structural sheet flooring panel for sub-floors or suspended floors.
It is well suited to either fitted construction, where the walls and joist system have been erected prior to support the perimeter, or platform construction, where the flooring panel is laid prior to the erection of the walls. Particleboard Flooring can be used with a wide range of floor coverings including vinyl, ceramic, quarry, slate, parquet and carpet. It is not recommended for use with under-floor carpet/tile heating systems. When exposed to prolonged weathering swelling may result, thus it is advisable to enclose the building or provide weather protection soon after installing the floor. When used as a structural product care must be taken to comply with the manufacturers and engineering guidelines. |
