Chipboard Flooring

From tongue and groove chipboard to loft flooring, our range of chipboard sheets act as the ideal moisture-resistant flooring solution for residential and commercial purposes. Its popularity stems from the versatile and high-quality material used to produce each board, offering immediate stability and strength to withstand heavy loads.

The tongue & groove design, often referred to as T&G, provides further longevity and ease of installation. The design creates a seamless lock between each board, therefore allowing you to closely fit them against any floor surface.

FAQs

What is chipboard?

Chipboard, sometimes known as particleboard, is a popular composite material made from wood elements and adhesive, most often formed in panels or sheets. It’s widely known for its versatile and cost-effective nature, making it commonly used in a number of DIY projects and furniture making. It's also a strong, stable and water-resistant material that’s easily customisable to suit a range of purposes.

How long does a chipboard floor last?

How long your chipboard lasts will depend on factors such as usage, maintenance and environmental conditions. In most cases, a well-installed and maintained chipboard floor can last between 10 and 20 years or more. To maximise the longevity of your chipboard flooring, we recommend reinforcing any areas that withstand a lot of foot traffic or heavy loads and repairing any damaged areas such as those as a result of water.

Does it matter which way up chipboard flooring goes?

Yes. It’s recommended that you install chipboard flooring with the smooth side facing up and the rougher side facing down. Why? You are given a much smoother surface, reducing the risk of unevenness or damage to the surface over time. What’s more, you will enhance its structural integrity.

What is the best way to remove smells from a kitchen sink?

Unpleasant odours coming from your sink are usually caused by a build-up of food waste in the sink waste pipe. To remove odours and clean your sink’s waste pipe, start by pouring bicarbonate of soda down the drain, followed by vinegar. Allow the mixture to fizz while you boil the kettle. After roughly 10 minutes, pour the boiling water down the drain to flush out the sink. 

How do you clean a kitchen sink drain?

To effectively clean your kitchen sink drain, start by cleaning the outside of the drain using a cloth and household disinfectant. For a deeper clean, you can turn off your water and disconnect your sink’s waste pipe, using a cloth to clean the underside of the drain.

How do you seal a kitchen sink to a countertop?

To seal a kitchen sink to your countertop, first secure the sink in place and attach any taps or pipes. Then use a silicone sealant to run a bead of silicone along the back edge of the sink. Smooth down the sealant for a secure, watertight finish.
