FAQs
Common Questions
Blockboard is made with a core of solid wood battens (strips) sandwiched between two layers of veneer or thin plywood. It is strong, resistant to warping, and lighter than solid plywood of the same thickness, making it ideal for shelves, doors, and large tabletops.
Use blockboard for long-span shelves, tabletops, and large door panels where plywood would sag due to its own weight. Plywood is better for load-bearing structural applications and curved surfaces.
