📌 What is Blockboard? (Simple Explanation)

In simple terms, blockboard is a solid-core panel.

Instead of thin layers like plywood, it uses:

• 🧱 Solid wood strips in the core
• 🎨 Covered with veneer layers on both sides

👉 This gives it:

• Better stability (less bending)
• Lighter weight
• Smooth surface for finishing

That’s why many carpenters prefer blockboard for furniture structures and door panels.
