is a type of engineered wood product commonly used in construction and furniture making. It is made by sandwiching a core of softwood strips or blocks between thin layers of hardwood veneer. These veneers are typically glued together with adhesive under high pressure and temperature to create a strong and stable panel.
The core of blockboard consists of wooden blocks or strips arranged side by side and bonded together with adhesive. This core provides strength and rigidity to the panel while also reducing the risk of warping or twisting. The outer veneers, usually made from hardwood such as birch or mahogany, add a smooth and durable surface to the board.
Blockboard is valued for its strength, stability, and relatively lightweight compared to solid wood. It is commonly used in applications where a strong and flat surface is required, such as:
- Furniture: Blockboard is often used to make furniture pieces like shelves, tables, cabinets, and wardrobes due to its strength and ability to hold screws and fasteners securely.
- Doors: Blockboard panels are used as door cores, providing structural support and stability to interior and exterior doors.
- Partitions and Shelving: In construction, blockboard is used for partitions, shelving, and other structural elements where a sturdy and flat surface is needed.
- Paneling: Blockboard can also be used as a decorative wall paneling material in interior design applications.
