How it's built

A stiff, light core between quality veneers

Our block boards have a wooden batten core sandwiched between outer veneers, with the grain of the core running perpendicular to the veneers. We use a blend of pine and poplar wood, a double core veneer and original gurjan face veneers.

We take care at every stage: battens are precisely cut and systematically arranged for uniform thickness, materials are selected and treated to resist termite and borer attack, and every board passes multiple checkpoints so it leaves the factory gap-free.

Where block board works best

Block board is the board to choose when a panel is long, tall or wide and must stay straight. Its solid batten core resists bending far better than particle board or MDF, and it is lighter than plywood of the same thickness, which makes large shutters and panels easier to hang and handle.

UseWhy block boardUsual thickness
Wardrobe sides and shuttersTall panels stay flat and shutters do not bow19 mm
Long shelves and bookcasesSpans without sagging under load19–25 mm
Beds, bed boxes and headboardsStiff and strong for large panels19–25 mm
Table tops and study desksFlat, rigid top that holds screws well25 mm
Doors, partitions and wall panellingLight enough to hang, stiff enough to stay true19–25 mm

Keep block board for dry areas. For kitchen sink units, bathroom vanities and anything that gets wet regularly, use BWP or marine-grade plywood instead.

Block board vs plywood

Block board is lighter and stiffer over long spans, so it is better for shelves, wardrobe sides, beds and doors. Plywood holds up better in moisture, takes detailed cutting and edge screwing more cleanly, and is the safer choice for kitchens and bathrooms. Most interiors use both, each where it suits.

Choosing block board thickness

19 mm is the everyday thickness for wardrobes, shelves and bed frames. Move to 25 mm for table tops, large bed bases and shelves that carry heavy loads, and use thinner boards only for light partitions and panelling. When in doubt, tell us the span and the load and we will suggest a thickness.

Features & advantages

Why builders choose block board

FAQ

Block board FAQs

What is block board?

Block board is an engineered wood panel with a core of softwood strips (battens) sandwiched between layers of wood veneer, with the core grain running perpendicular to the face veneers. It is stiff, resists bending and is lighter than plywood of the same thickness.

Is block board or plywood better for wardrobes?

Use block board for tall wardrobe sides, long shelves and doors, where its stiffness stops sagging and bowing. Use plywood for drawers, small parts and anything near water. Many carpenters build the carcass in plywood and the long panels and shutters in block board.

What thickness of block board should I use for a bed?

Most bed frames, headboards and storage boxes use 19 mm block board. For a large bed base or panels that carry heavy loads, use 25 mm. Thinner boards suit light partitions and panelling only.

Can block board be used in a kitchen or bathroom?

Not where it will get wet. Block board suits dry areas — wardrobes, beds, shelving and doors. Use BWP or marine-grade plywood for sink units, bathroom vanities and other areas that get wet regularly.

Does block board get termites?

Untreated softwood cores can attract termites and borers. MRS block boards are made from materials treated to resist termite and borer attack. Keep boards off damp walls and floors and seal cut edges for the best protection.

What is MRS block board made of?

MRS block boards use a blend of pine and poplar wood battens in the core, a double core veneer and original gurjan face veneers, bonded with boiling-waterproof resin.
