Blockboard

Blockboard is a wood based panel, made up of a core of softwood strips glued together. The strips are placed edge to edge and sandwiched between veneers of softwood, hardwood or thin MDF or particleboard, glued under high pressure. The internal strips are generally made of light weight poplar wood or spruce. Blockboard is used to make doors, tables, shelves, paneling and partition walls. It is normally used for interior application. Blockboard (also called lumber core) has very good screw holding and can be considered as solid wood; it has a good resistance to warping.
