Chipboard

Chipboard is a versatile type of engineered wooden board made by compressing wood particles with resin. Builders commonly use chipboard sheets for flooring, wall linings, and furniture carcasses. In modern construction, chipboard offers a cost-effective solution where strength and uniformity are important. Historically, it replaced solid timber for many internal applications due to its stability and efficient use of raw materials. Today, you can choose from a wide range of options, including standard chipboard, moisture-resistant boards, and specialist products like chipboard loft panels designed for attic flooring.

Melamine faced chipboard is a popular variant, often used where a durable, wipe-clean surface is required, such as in kitchen units or shop fittings. Chipboard loft panels are usually pre-cut for easy installation between joists and are ideal for creating light-duty storage floors. While chipboard is not naturally waterproof, modern moisture-resistant types are treated for improved performance in damp environments.
