Choosing OSB, MDF and chipboard

Which flooring?

P5 chipboard flooring is the standard moisture-resistant floor deck. 18 mm is common at 400 mm joist centres and 22 mm at 600 mm centres, but follow the maker's span table.

Cutting MDF safely

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

How much will you need?

Decking 24 m² with 2440 × 1220 mm sheets takes 9 sheets including 10% for cutting. In P5 chipboard flooring (2400 × 600 mm) the same floor takes 19 boards.
