Block Board

Block Board

Blockboard is made up of softwood strips and veneers. The  Plywood is manufactured by placing softwood strips edge to edge and sandwiched between veneers and then this sandwich is glued together with high pressure. Block boards are generally used to make wardrobe doors, doors, panelling, and partition walls. It comes two varieties viz., 25mm blockboard, and 19mm blockboard. The   Blockboard is mostly used when there is a lengthy piece of wood is required which makes furniture stiffer or and prevents it from bending block board price. While using Blockboard always take care that the core of Blockboard runs lengthwise,  to achieve maximum strength. Block Boards are made out of the excellent quality of Plantation Timbers. Logs are quarter sawn into Planks using the SDR method, which is chemically treated and well seasoned before converting into battens in multiple ripsaws. Battens are sandwiched between two glued mechanically dried veneers and are pressed in a hot press under accurate temperature and pressure. Quarter sawing of logs and proper seasoning of planks make it dimensionally stable and treatment of planks, poisoning of the glue line, and preservative treatment of finished blockboard makes UPGRADE Block Boards durable and safe against borers. These are available in two major varieties viz., 18mm plywood, commercial block board, pine block board and 12mm plywood.
