Sheet materials are versatile wood panels manufactured from solid or recycled timber and bonded together with an adhesive. They are used in almost all forms of construction, interior designs, structural and non-structural projects—sheet materials wood made of timber particles in the form of fibres, veneers, and staves.

Wood-based sheet materials are famous for their cost-effectiveness and are commonly used in:

OSB 

OSB or oriented strand board is a durable wood-based panel widely used in wall, floor, and roof sheathing applications. Excellent shear strength is achieved by a layered manufacturing method. It is significantly less expensive than plywood. Therefore it is sometimes used as a cost-effective alternative.

Our current selection of OSB includes OSB3 boards, and they are available in Square Edge and Tongue & Groove options. They also come in different grades; the OSB grade varies depending on loading specifications and environmental conditions.

Plywood 

Plywood is a sheet material made of wood veneers bonded together with adjacent layers, where the wood grain is rotated up to 90% to one another. The Plywood products are divided into four groups; interior & exterior, structural and marine, where each group is designed for specific applications. The boards are mainly used in flooring, roofing, wall and hard boarding. They are increasingly stable, resilient, and offer high strength to weight ratio and chemical resistance.  Our range offers top quality Softwood Plywood, Hardwood plywood in 19 different variations of your choice. 

Chipboard 

Chipboard is also known as Particleboard. It is the most popular timber panel, and the most cost-effective building material. It is made of wood chips cut to specific dimensions and glued together to form the board in layers. Particleboard predominantly is used in wall and ceiling lining, cabinet making, and other general-purpose joinery. Our range currently consists of high-quality Melamine Faced Chipboard, P2 Furniture Grade Chipboard and Tongue & Groove Moisture-Resistant Flooring Chipboard. 

Hardboard 

Hardboard is a high-density fiberboard and is often used as a high-quality substitute for wood in furniture manufacturing and building decoration. The panels are produced from fine wood fibres, resulting in a unique grainless appearance allowing applying various floor coverings. 

The boards are famous for their flexibility and cost-effectiveness, it can be shaped, drilled, cut to size and routed. They come in different densities and thicknesses. It can be used in many general decorative applications, displays and signs, doors, cabinets, backing for wardrobes and many more. Our online store currently supplies the Standard Hardboard.

MDF

MDF stands for medium-density fibreboard. It is commonly used for cabinetry, panelling, joinery and other internal projects.
