Chipboard Flooring
Are you looking for flooring material sheets? Our chipboard flooring range presents a popular and dependable variety. Tongue and groove chipboard is one of the most preferred flooring materials in both commercial and residential structures.
What is chipboard flooring?
Chipboard Flooring, popularly referred to as T&G chipboard or tongue and groove chipboard, is a moisture-resistant board used for flooring. The product is made from a collection of sawdust, wood shavings, or chips compressed with synthetic resin to give them shape.
The final product is durable and smooth chipboard that is put underneath the floor. Most homeowners choose tongue and groove chipboard flooring because of its strength and quality performance, as well as interlocking, which mitigates movement and noise.
What is T&G chipboard used for?
Chipboard flooring (especially tongue & groove P5 or similar grades) is used in scenarios that call for stability, strength, insulation, and value. Because the boards are fixed tightly into joists and can be screwed down, they make solid floors.
You’ll find it in:
- Kitchens – It forms solid, stable bases under kitchen units or worktops and can support tiled or vinyl flooring with proper treatment.
- Bathrooms – In rooms with occasional moisture, moisture-resistant (MR) chipboards deliver better performance, keeping the floor base stable.
- Living rooms – Suitable for any room where quality structural floor bases are important before finishing materials are applied (wood, carpet, laminate, etc.)
- Lofts – In limited spaces, the narrower T&G boards are easier to manoeuvre and fix.
- Mezzanine floors – Add strength between joists and help spread the load when creating intermediate floors in a building.
- Underfloor heating – With the right thermal insulation under it, chipboard holds heat thanks to its density and pairs well with UFH systems.
Types of tongue and groove chipboard
Here are several varieties of tongue & groove (T&G) chipboard we stock at Sheet Materials Wholesale, along with the main features and common uses:
Fire retardant chipboard
Fire-retardant options are treated to resist fire, often with a Euroclass B rating. They are used in floors and walls where building regulations or safety requirements demand enhanced fire protection, especially in risky zones.
Mezzanine chipboard
This is very thick, heavy-duty T&G chipboard designed for supporting loads over larger spans, such as mezzanine floors or working platforms. When creating raised areas inside a building, it can accommodate structural stress and span larger spaces.
Chipboard loft boards (also T&G)
Tongue & groove panels are suitable for light domestic use where you don’t require full structural load-bearing strength. Sometimes P2 or similar grades. It is perfect for loft conversions, attic storage, or where floors don’t carry full live loads but use interlocking boards to avoid movement and noise.
P5 chipboards
This is a robust, structural chipboard grade that is moisture-resistant and designed for general flooring use. Boards are T&G for secure jointing to joists. They are perfect for domestic flooring (ground or first floor), kitchens, living rooms, etc.

FAQ
What does P5 mean on chipboard?
P5 is a classification under the BS EN 312 for chipboards regarding strength, durability, and applications. The classification system goes up to P7 and specifies a board’s performance in load-bearing, humid conditions, mechanical strength, and dimensional stability in damp conditions.
P5 is more for internal areas that may get damp or where moisture might occasionally be serious, like in a kitchen or bathroom.
How thick should chipboard flooring be?
Chipboard comes in a variety of thicknesses, ranging from 18mm to 22mm. The thickness is guided by where you intend to use it, as well as the spaces between joists.
Is chipboard flooring good?
It is cost-effective, durable, and wears out slowly. It can handle high traffic loads with proper usage, making it useful in various flooring scenarios.
