Particleboard
With its smooth, compact, and homogeneous surface, Evergreen Particleboard surfaces are excellent for applications of veneer, high or low pressure laminates, melamine, and paper overlay. Evergreen Particleboard is used as the core material in the construction of homes and office furniture, shelving and kitchen cabinets, as well as commercial and institutional fixtures.
