Description

Blockboard is made up of strips of wood up to about *5mm wide running parallel to each other, which is the core of the board. The strips are placed edge-to-edge and sandwiched between veneers of hardwood, which are all glued together under high pressure. Blockboard is usually restricted to internal applications such as joinery, door blanks, furniture, and shopfitting. It should be noted that blockboard is at its strongest when cut and applied lengthways running the same way as the core, and should not be used widthways where any external pressure is applied be taken when fixing, and fixing to blockboard, as the core strips that run the full length of the board may be voids between them.
