What Is 18mm Chipboard Flooring?

P5 18mm chipboard flooring is flooring-grade chipboard manufactured for load-bearing structural applications where moisture fluctuation and high humidity pose a problem. 

P5 chipboard flooring is installed underneath wood, stone, carpet, and ceramic tiles to serve as a base for a wide selection of floor coverings.  

For the best result, we suggest installing P5 chipboard sheets with a combination of other humidity-resistant materials. 

The 'tongue and groove' design highlighted in its title, makes reference to the interlocking nature of the chipboard floorboards that fit boards together in a snug and tight bond, promising strength and long-lasting performance.

P5 Chipboard Tongue & Groove Design 

One of the biggest benefits of purchasing these boards is that they guarantee quick and easy installation. 

The board's tongue and groove edges ensure it slots perfectly into adjacent boards.

The lattice-like pattern the T&G flooring creates promotes joint strength so that underfloor materials won't move or become unstuck.

18mm Chipboard Flooring Installation

Where other construction materials require expensive adhesives, tools, and equipment, installing P5 flooring is simple.

We recommend using either screws or nails to secure the boards; you can even use wood screws. Screw the boards into the joists according to the joist variation. This, along with the interlaced edge, will create a long-lasting, secure bond.
