General Description

Duraflake brand Particleboard by Flakeboard

Particleboard is non-structural, interior product made from wood particles that are often the byproducts from the manufacture of the other wood products such as lumber or paper. The particles are mixed with resins and formed under heat and pressure into a strong, solid board.

The board typically consists of several particle layers - a core and two outside layers, or faces. These particles are mixed with resins and formed under heat and pressure into a strong, solid board.

All products are certified through the Composite Panel Association Formaldehyde Grademark Program and meet the requirements for emissions as set out in ANSI A208.1-1999, Table A.
