Substrates
We offer the industry's most comprehensive substrate portfolio, from cost-efficient particleboard to high-strength OSB and premium hardwood plywood. We also produce custom substrate solutions on request.
Particle Board (PB)
+ Most affordable. Light weight. Good for high-volume production.
− Weakest screw-holding. Swells with moisture.
⭑ Budget wardrobes, flat-pack furniture, shelving.
Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF)
+ Smooth surface takes any finish. Routers cleanly. Good screw-holding.
− Heavier than PB. Edges swell if exposed to moisture.
⭑ Cabinet doors, decorative panels, painted furniture.
High Density Fiberboard (HDF)
+ Hardest surface. Best wear & scratch resistance. Denser laminate bond.
− Heavier. Harder to machine. Higher cost.
⭑ Laminate flooring, door skins, high-contact surfaces.
Oriented Strand Board (OSB)
+ Superior load-bearing. High moisture resistance. Very strong structure.
− Rough surface requires lamination. Heavier. Higher cost.
⭑ Structural furniture, cabinets, demanding environments.
Plywood
+ Excellent dimensional stability. Great screw-holding in all directions. Durable.
− More expensive. Cut edges need finishing. Can splinter.
⭑ Premium furniture, kitchen cabinets, wall paneling.
Finger-Jointed Board
+ Solid wood character. Dimensionally stable. Cost-effective vs. solid wood.
− Visible joints under stain. Not for heavy structural loads.
⭑ Painted trim, door frames, mouldings, visible-edge paneling.
