Chipboard: dimensions and thickness of the sheet, the price of products from leading manufacturers

A huge assortment of chipboard allows you to choose the material for various types of construction work, from furniture production to floor installation and wall cladding. The type and size of the material should be selected depending on the conditions and place of use. The main points to consider when choosing a chipboard are: sheet dimensions and thickness, price and material specifications. We will consider them in detail in this article.

What is the reason for the popularity of chipboard

Chipboard is recognized as one of the most popular and demanded building materials. The furniture industry, the construction of new facilities, the implementation of renovations, finishing and decorative measures cannot do without this reliable and inexpensive product.

Thanks to improved modern technologies, manufacturers manage to bring their final product to high technical and aesthetic indicators. The output is a smooth and high-quality sheet surface, which has high stiffness and strength. The ability to choose the required format, sheet thickness and attractive aesthetic appearance allows the material to be widely used for the manufacture of furniture, installation of partitions, floors, wall panels, ceiling cladding and wall surfaces.

Material properties

The thickness of the product affects the strength of the material and its ability to resist external loads. The thicker the chipboard, the higher its resistance to deformation, however, the flexibility index is inversely proportional. Therefore, under the influence of mechanical stress, thick sheets are more likely to break than bend, while thin sheets, on the contrary, will bend without damaging the slab.

The thickness of the slab also affects the strength of the product. If you hit a heavy, thick sheet, then only minor dents may remain on the surface, and the thin sheet will break through.

Chipboard applications

For the installation of decorative partitions and the manufacture of lightly loaded furniture elements, plates with a thickness of 8-10 mm are used.

Different sizes of chipboard sheets 16 mm and 18 mm thick can be used for floor installation, as a base for laying laminate or linoleum. If a more durable flooring is required, then a 20 mm thick slab should be used.

The standard dimensions of chipboard sheets with a thickness of 22 and 25 mm serve as a reliable basis for the manufacture of kitchen tables, thick doors, and the most loaded furniture elements.

The thickest boards with a thickness of 28-38 mm are indispensable for making durable shelves and kitchen worktops.

Useful advice! Bar counters they are made of chipboard of maximum thickness, since the final product is subjected to heavy loads.

Before purchasing chipboard sheets, it is necessary to clearly determine their quantity, taking into account the most acceptable dimensions of the plates. To perform any work using plates, it is worth first measuring all the linear dimensions of the working surface. Based on the obtained values ​​and the areas of the plots, it is possible to select the dimensions of the sheets that will provide the minimum remainder of the material.

Often the area of ​​the working surface can be significantly less than the dimensions of the sheet. In this case, you can resort to the help of construction workshops, where there is a lot of waste boards. Specialists will cut the chipboard according to the customer's size from the remaining material they have. In this case, the buyer will pay not only the cost of the chipboard pieces based on the total sheet price, but also the cutting services. However, the price will be lower compared to the cost of the whole slab.

For example, the price for a 16 mm chipboard sheet with a thickness and size of 2800x2070 mm is 910 rubles, respectively 157 rubles. per sq.m. And if you buy half of the sheet, taking into account the cut, then the amount to be paid will be about 650 rubles.

Chipboard: sheet dimensions and thickness, material price

Normative documents that regulate the geometric dimensions of a chipboard sheet define 18 gradations in length and 9 in width. The length of the sheets is in the range of 1830-5680 mm, the width starts from 1220 and reaches 2500 mm.

Useful advice! Chipboard sheets with dimensions (width and length) of 2440x1830, 2620x1830 and 2750x1830 mm are most often found on the market, due to their easy handling and convenient transportation.

Chipboard sheets of standard sizes can be different in their thickness. This important geometric parameter is also in a wide range. The minimum chipboard thickness is 8 mm, the maximum is 38 mm. The most popular are chipboards with a thickness of 22, 18, and 16 mm. It is this indicator that should be considered when choosing a material. It determines the further use of the product and affects its level of strength during subsequent transportation. The thicker the sheet, the stronger it is, which means it can be used in loaded structures.

Chipboard dimensions and sheet price

Several factors influence the formation of the cost of any material. The first of these is the product manufacturing technology (the quality of raw materials, the presence of additional components, the application of a protective and decorative coating). The following criteria can be called the size and thickness of the sheet, on which the amount of raw materials depends. Also, an important point is the seasonality, which makes its own adjustments to the pricing policy. The next factor is the place where the product is manufactured, on which the transport component of the product price depends. In addition, prices in hardware stores in different cities may differ significantly.

Depending on the grade, brand and surface of the material, the price for a chipboard sheet can start from 650 rubles.

The price of a laminated chipboard sheet with a size and thickness of 2800x2070x16 mm will be about 1420 rubles. While polished chipboard of the same size will cost 880 rubles. This difference is justified by the costs associated with the technology of applying a certain texture to the surface of the slab.

Comparative characteristics of prices for the most popular chipboard positions are presented in the following table:

Material name	Geometrical dimensions, mm	Thickness, mm	Price, RUB / m²
Chipboard	2440x1830	16	135
		22	160

You can make an individual order for sheets with a thickness of 8, 25, 28, 32, and 38 mm.
2. Egger company, whose products are produced under the EUROSPAN trademark and are used for the manufacture of furniture parts and repair work. The material has a durable middle layer and thin outer layers, which makes it the most suitable for applying various decorative textures. The company produces slabs with a length of 5600 and 2800 mm and a width of 2070 mm.

Laminated chipboard: product price

Nowadays, almost all cabinet furniture is made from laminated chipboard, dimensions which are defined by the standard. They should be taken into account when choosing a material for further cutting the necessary elements in each specific case in order to obtain a minimum amount of waste.

This material has a huge amount of texture and color variations. It is easy to process.

Important is the fact that it is not worth sawing Chipboard into separate fragments at home. Since during the sawing of the slab on a conventional machine, the laminate splits at the sawing points, which contributes to the formation of torn edges of the products. Therefore, the sawing of laminated chipboard should be carried out at furniture enterprises or construction workshops that provide such services. You can also order edging of individual elements here. All work is carried out on specialized equipment, which allows you to achieve exceptional quality of the finished product.

You can buy laminated chipboard based on the pricing policy of manufacturing companies, taking into account innovations in manufacturing technology, the capabilities of production equipment and the quality of raw materials.
