TradeGrade Black Cherry Particle Board, 8ft x 4ft, 18mm

Black Cherry Laminated Board

The TradeGrade Black Cherry Particle Board provides a durable and cost-effective solution for interior cabinetry and shopfitting projects. This 18mm thick engineered wood panel features a high-density core surfaced with a hard-wearing melamine layer. It suits vertical and horizontal applications in dry environments where a consistent wood-grain finish is required.

Built for the Job

Contractors and furniture manufacturers utilize this 18mm laminated sheet for constructing robust cabinet carcasses, shelving units, and office desks. The high-density chip core ensures reliable screw-holding strength, which is essential for mounting hinges and drawer runners. Because the surface comes pre-finished, it eliminates the need for sanding, priming, or painting on-site, significantly reducing labor time. The Black Cherry finish offers a professional aesthetic for commercial fit-outs and residential wardrobes. This material maintains dimensional stability better than solid timber, resisting warping and twisting when installed in climate-controlled interiors.

• Fabrication of kitchen and bedroom cabinet carcasses.

• Construction of retail display units and shelving.

On-Site & Workshop Notes

• Always use a sharp, triple-chip grind (TCG) circular saw blade to prevent chipping the melamine surface during cuts.

• Store sheets flat on a level surface with at least three evenly spaced bearers to prevent bowing.

• Apply matching 0.4mm or 2mm PVC edge banding to all exposed edges to protect the core from moisture ingress.

• Pilot holes are recommended before driving screws to avoid splitting the internal core material near the edges.

• This product is not suitable for high-moisture areas or direct contact with water.
