Description
18mm Egger U250 ST9 Caramel Beige Melamine Faced Chipboard 2800 x 2070mm is manufactured in the UK by Egger, part of the Beige Unicolours range within Egger’s wider Uni Colours collection.
Colour and Surface
Caramel Beige sits a shade deeper and creamier than a standard beige, close enough to feel related but with more warmth behind it. That extra depth is what makes it work so well in a tone-on-tone scheme, layered against other neutrals of a similar family. It also holds its own as a deliberate accent, whether set beside warm-toned woods or as a softening contrast against black surfaces, carrying a touch of Mediterranean lightness into the room either way. ST9 Smoothtouch Matt reinforces that creamy character, feeling genuinely velvety to the touch. Tested to EN 14323, the surface holds a stain resistance rating of 3 or higher, so everyday marks aren’t a worry.
Construction and Performance
The chipboard core is faced on both sides with resin-impregnated decorative paper pressed into a durable melamine surface, finished with a square cut edge that takes banding cleanly. Fire behaviour is classified D-s2,d0 under EN 13501-1, and the formaldehyde level meets E05. It is intended for dry interior applications. It can be used for kitchen cabinets and furniture, but should not be installed where the board or exposed edges will be subject to persistent moisture, standing water or direct wetting.
