Marine boards (also known as Marine Plywood) are high-quality boards designed to withstand humid conditions and offer a superior alternative to traditional Plywood, MDF, or OSB boards.
They are made from durable tropical hardwood and bonded with waterproof adhesive and are used as roofing decks for all kinds of residential and commercial roofing systems.
In addition to roofing systems, Marine Boards can also be used for indoor residential and office partitioning and building outdoor living areas such as pergolas and garden structures.

What are the typical applications for these boards?
These boards are versatile and can be used in various applications such as roofing, flooring, wall sheathing, furniture manufacturing, and interior partitioning.
How do these boards perform in moisture-prone environments?
Each board type has varying degrees of moisture resistance. For instance, Marine Boards are specifically designed for high-humidity areas, offering superior water resistance. OSB Boards have moderate moisture resistance, suitable for many construction applications. Eco-boards, made from recycled materials, also offer good moisture resistance, making them suitable for areas where moisture is a concern.
Are these boards environmentally friendly?
Eco-boards are made from recycled materials, providing an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional wood-based panels. OSB Boards are manufactured from fast-growing, sustainable wood species, making efficient use of wood resources. Marine Boards, while durable, are typically made from tropical hardwoods; sourcing from certified suppliers can ensure environmental responsibility.
Can these boards be easily cut and installed?
Yes, all three board types can be cut using standard woodworking tools and are designed for ease of installation. OSB and Eco-boards are lightweight and easy to handle, while Marine Boards, being denser, may require more effort during installation.
What sizes and thicknesses are available?
OSB Boards are commonly available in sizes like 1220 x 2440 mm (4 x 8 ft) with thicknesses of 12mm and 15mm. Eco-boards come in sizes such as 2440 x 1220 mm with varying thicknesses including 4mm, 8mm, 12mm, and 18mm. Marine Boards are typically available in 2440 x 1220 mm size with an 18mm thickness.
