What you need to know the size of the chipboard

For mass production of cabinet furniturethe main material in recent years have become chipboards, which constitute a worthy competition to the tree for its qualities. This structural material is easy to handle, perfectly holds any fasteners, has a variety of exterior trim options. Therefore, when cutting furniture it is important to get as few cuttings as possible, and does not play a role, individually they do it or in production. The most important parameter is the standard size of the DSP sheet. Knowing the necessary parameters, you can significantly save on materials.

Size of chipboard from different manufacturers

Strength of the material and its weight depend on the thickness and density of the sheet, but these important criteria still go to the background in comparison with its size.

The standard is the size of the EAF, whichThe largest producers of slabs occupy the first positions in the markets of the CIS countries. Among them are brands of European manufacturers: Kronospan (Czech and Slovakian), Intershpan (Hungary), DDL (Czech Republic), Kaindl (Slovak Buchin DDD), Kastamonu (Romania), Egger (Austria) and domestic ones - Swisspan , KronospanUA, Krono-Ukraine, Lesnsnab, Russian laminate and about four dozen Russian companies that produce more than 100 thousand cubic meters of products per year. For example:

• The Kastamonu plate is available in a size of 2.8 x 2.1 m in all main thicknesses - 10, 16, 18 and 25 mm.
• "Kronostar" has two standard sizes: 2.8 x 2.10 and 2.5 x 1.85 m (16, 18, 22 mm).
• "Kronospan" (Russia) produces the same chipboard size, but has a wider range of thicknesses - 8, 10, 12, 16, 18, 22, 25, 28 mm.
• SwissPan, with the same leaf width of 1.83 m, has two lengths - a standard 2.75 m and a shortened 1.83 m.
• Egger has its own vision of the standard - it is a sheet 2.8 x 2.07 m, the thickness of which varies from 10 to 38 mm, and this is the only firm that produces sheets with a thickness of 19 mm.
• KronospanUA, Krono-Ukraine offers three sheet sizes: 2.75 x 1.83; 2.80 x 2.07 and 3.5 x 1.75. At the same time, the area of ​​sheets varies significantly: 5,032, 5,796 and 6,125 m² (respectively).

Weight of chipboard

Standard sheets of chipboard for different thicknesses have different weights. These data are tabulated, which makes it possible to roughly calculate the mass of the future product.

Sheet size (m)	Sheet weight (kg), depending on the thickness
	8 mm	10 mm	12 mm	16 mm	18 mm	26 mm
2.44 x 1.83	26	32,6	39,1	52,1	58,6	84,6
2.75 x 1.83	29,4	36,7	44	58,7	66	95,4

Sphere of application of chipboard

The most widely used chipboard in furnitureproduction and construction. So, slabs without furnish use for manufacturing of wall panels, door leaves, facing of floors and ceilings, construction of partitions, panels and filing of roofs, formwork. Since chipboard is significantly cheaper than solid wood or MDF, it becomes possible to save on costs when finishing or building works, without reducing their quality or reliability.

Laminated, veneered chipboard is in demand in furniture production, thanks to which a wide range of economy-class furniture with an optimal price-quality ratio appeared.

For example, the dimensions of the chipboard 16 mm are optimaloptions for the production of cabinet furniture or frames of upholstered furniture. Often this size is used in construction for the device of floors and partitions, as well as frame elements of the interior.
