Blockboard
One of the advantages that Blockboard offers when compared to Plywood and MDF is its relative lightness. The density of the boards are largely determined by the types of timber used for the core blocks. Blockboard is suitable for interior use only.

Chinese poplar core Plywood 
Chinese Hardwood Faced Panels offer a good quality face veneer and the poplar core makes the plywood lighter than similar panels constructed of other hardwoods. The surface is good for painting and veneering. We also offer “hardwood throughout” panels from China for applications requiring a stronger product.

Medium Density Fibreboard (MDF) 
MDF offers smooth surfaces and a uniformly dense core, which make it suitable for cutting, machining and moulding. It is also widely used in furniture manufacture and can be veneered, laminated or painted to offer a range of finishes. Standard MDF is unsuitable in applications where panels are exposed to moisture; in these cases MR grade MDF should be used. International Plywood stocks a full range of sizes in both grades to ensure that the right product is available for our customers at all times.

OSB
Orientated Strand Board has many packaging and sheathing uses where a solid faced panel is required. The product is made to very strict manufacturing tolerances, is easy to cut and can be painted to give a durable finish. We stock OSB 2 (Standard Grade) and OSB 3 (Conditioned Grade) which offers greater stability in moist conditions.
