Product Description
A block board is a compound wood board that is developed from wood strips that are located end to end in adjacent columns. These adjacent strips are sandwiched between two hardwood veneers and then glued under extreme heat and pressure.
There are many benefits of this amazing blockboard which is the most favorite engineered wood product of many designers and manufacturers. The perks of using quality block board are as follows:
Lightweight:
These boards are light compare to other engineered wood products that are fabricated from hardwood timber. The light weight enhances the life of doors and furniture as the same apply less pressure on the hinges as well as fasteners. The lighter weight of wooden products developed from this board are easier to transport over long distances. The transportation incurs less logistical costs.
Economical:
Quality block board costs lesser than timber. For projects that require cost effectiveness without falling back in terms of quality.
Resists sagging and warping:
Block boards are resistant to sagging and bending. Their stiffness and bending resistance in the middle make them a clear choice for many projects. The manufacturers use this board for making wall cabinets, benches, tables and long bookshelves.
Resists borer and termite attacks:
As these boards undergo special adhesive treatment under extreme heat and pressure conditions that make them resistant to chemicals and biological threats.
Uniformly stable and strong:
The formation of these boards requires uniform sized wooden blocks which are placed end to end in columns. This technique allows uniform distribution of strength. The veneers are glued across the surface under high heat and pressure to further reinforce the strength.
Poor conductor of heat, electricity and sound:
This property of block boards made them an ideal choice of many engineering applications. This board is utilized for the fabrication of switch boards, wall panels, tables, shelves and doors.
Easy to handle:
As said, the block board is easy to work with. This board holds fasteners, such as screws and nails well. It is dimensionally stable and resistant to bending. During the drilling process, the loose grains also dont come off.
Convenient to reclaim and reuse:
This board is convenient to reclaim and reuse in other applications, this characteristic makes this board makes it an environmentally safe wood products.
Easy to work with under water:
This specific board is much easier to paint, work with and preserve in saline water. Even in sea water, this board doesnt become pulpy or brittle.
Available in several sizes and thicknesses: One can avail this board in many sizes and thicknesses. This makes it suitable for fabrication of furniture, like wall panels, conference tables, etc.
If product longevity, easy making, wide choices and pocket friendliness are your concern, then block board is the most sensible choice.
