  • Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.

OSB, MDF & Chipboard: choosing well

OSB or plywood?

OSB3 is usually cheaper and fine for most structural decking in humid conditions. Plywood is stiffer, takes fixings near edges better and performs better where it may get wet.

Cutting MDF safely

MDF dust is fine; cut with extraction and wear suitable respiratory protection.

Common questions from Herefordshire

Is MDF waterproof?

No. Moisture-resistant MDF handles humid rooms better than standard MDF but must still be sealed and kept out of direct water.

Can I add other materials to my Herefordshire delivery?

Yes. Put everything on one list, from OSB, MDF and chipboard to fixings and PPE, and we will price it as one delivery where the products can travel together.

What chipboard flooring should I use?

P5 moisture-resistant tongue-and-groove chipboard. 18 mm is common on joists at 400 mm centres and 22 mm at 600 mm centres.
