Applications

The Military board is unmatched in versatility and properties. Thus, it can be used across more applications than any other board.

Kitchens: that don’t put cancer causing chemicals into our food and atmosphere. That actively reduce the chance of catastrophic damage, injury or death in more than 10000 kitchen fires each year. Where the doors and drawers don’t drop after a couple of years due to the use of inferior chipboard products. Where panelling doesn’t absorb water and delaminate the board and veneer.

Out buildings: like cabins and sheds made from a material that will last decades without the need for harmful protective coatings like pesticides or preservatives that also improve safety for storing those flammable materials.

Homes: built using a board that lasts as long as the architects design life whilst not being reliant on limited life membranes, boards that only last 60 years, or the board itself presenting a fire risk; A Board that speeds up build times with less complicated builds whilst offering superior properties that create healthier homes. Where roofs stripped of their tiles in a storm remain waterproof. Homes that will have gained in value rather than lost value by the time your child inherits them.

Security doors and panic rooms: that have a structural, insulative, sound deadening layer, that’s difficult to penetrate due to its impact resistance. This helps provide security to the doors and walls of the installation.

Where priceless museum and artwork pieces are shipped in crates that will help protect the contents from moisture and fire. Where road hauliers and rail flatbeds have flooring that can withstand the harsh treatment from their loads like tracked vehicles and heavy machinery. Imagine where insurance premiums are reduced by the inclusion of a safe, non-toxic fire-resistant construction board.

The Military board is also available for Military Duty in sangars, defensive walls, tunnels, bunkers, underground water storage bunds, barracks, ammo crates and many more applications.

Police can erect temporary security posts and crowd control that is fire and vandal resistant, can be modified, dismantled and reused. Where shops can barricade windows and doors to protect from rioters and other disturbances.

The Military Board can be used everywhere, for virtually anything a traditional board can be used for and more and more. It offers an unrivalled thickness from 20 mm to 70 mm and in sheets*,2.4m x 1.2m** in size.

*Available in 20mm and 70 mm

**available in 20mm, 70mm (more thicknesses to come by demand)
