Tongue and Groove Chipboard Floorboards
Chipboard flooring sheets are the most commonly used materials for flooring in both domestic and commercial environments. There are a range of grades and choices to match every application, including moisture-resistant options to ensure the integrity of the flooring over time.
Designed specifically for flooring applications, chipboard enables quick and easy installation featuring tongue and groove design connectors to make the job simple and secure.
What is chipboard flooring?
Sometimes referred to as particle board or even T&G or tongue and groove flooring, chipboard sheets present a cost-effective, versatile and long-lasting solution for a new floor.
Chipboard is a sustainable product too, as it’s manufactured from woodchip and other materials that would otherwise have gone to landfill disposal, such as sawdust and recycled wood shavings. This high-density material is tough and durable, with the woodchip and fibres combining in a random pattern to reduce the chance of warping and splitting.
Sizes and thicknesses
Supreme Merchants supply 18mm thickness and 22mm thickness chipboard flooring panels measuring 2400mm x 600mm, one of the most commonly used sizes in the UK. These tough wood particle boards are ideal for flooring joists spaced at 400mm in line with building regulations.
At just 600mm wide, these resistant flooring panels are an ideal narrow width for working in more confined spaces such as lofts and smaller bathrooms.
Both board options use FSC-certified materials, are moisture resistant and feature tongue and grooved sides to simplify and speed up the laying process.
Benefits of T&G
This is an economical choice for added strength, with the groove chipboard flooring fitting making the entire floor stronger and more stable, creating a close fit between the panels to improve joint strength.
They’re easy to lay thanks to the customised T&G style but also because their size makes them easy to handle and manipulate – particularly useful in confined construction spaces.
Moisture-resistant properties make them ideal for use in areas subject to damp ingress such as kitchens and bathrooms with more humid conditions.
Improve insulation
What’s more, they will improve insulation properties due to the dense nature of the board, complementing existing insulation provision and contributing to environmental standards.
