Particleboard Panels
Particleboard core, or PB, is a dependable substrate for veneered panels used in furniture, cabinets, case goods and store fixtures. Its smooth surface, uniform thickness, consistent properties and ability to stay flat make it a practical choice for high-quality veneer overlays. FormWood particleboard veneer panels combine a stable industrial core with carefully selected hardwood veneer faces for a consistent finished panel.
