Cement particle board (also called particle cement board or cement bonded particle board) is a strong sheet material made by bonding small wood bits with cement and then pressing them into dense, flat panels. These panels offer greater moisture resistance, strength, and dimensional stability than standard timber-based boards and can be used for building interiors and exteriors.
What is concrete particle board?
Concrete particle board is just another name for cement particle board. During its manufacturing process, cement is used as the primary binder, making it both moisture and fire resistant. Its unique elements also make it less susceptible to decay compared to resin-bonded particleboard.
Cement particle board price varies based on thickness, size, and quantity. For example, typical pallet pricing is around £11–£12 per m² for trade orders, with smaller pack quantities costing more per board.
What is cement chipboard used for?
Cement chipboard (also called cement bonded chipboard) is used in areas where you need strength and durability. It is used for walls, roofs, floors, and sheathing in steel- or timber-frame structures, and as backing or substrate for insulation systems.
It can remain temporarily exposed during construction because it is not easily damaged by moisture or extreme site conditions.
Types of particle cement board
There aren’t many different kinds, but there are key variations:
Standard boards – for general-purpose internal and external applications.
Moisture-resistant boards – suitable for high-moisture or humid environments.
Fire-rated boards (like A2 Versapanel) – designed to meet strict fire-safety ratings for regulated applications.
Available in thicknesses of 8–28mm to meet different structural requirements.
Benefits of chipboard particle board
Cement bonded particle boards have several advantages:
Strong and dimensionally stable – they are stronger and more stable compared to resin-bonded particle boards.
Moisture resistant – works well in wet and humid environments and resists swelling and degradation.
Fire-resistant – the cement binder improves fire performance, limiting flame spread.
Resistant to rot, mould, and pests–the board is manufactured with inorganic components that prevent biological decay.
Can be decorated or finished – smooth surface is ready for paint or cladding.
These features make it a reliable alternative to wood-based boards.

FAQ
Where to buy cement particle board?
You can purchase cement particle boards for your project directly from Insulation Wholesale. We sell high-performance boards priced competitively with fast delivery and expert support for trade and DIY clients.
How to cut cement particle board?
Cutting cement particle board is slightly different from cutting standard board. Follow the following steps:
Mark your cut line clearly.
Use a carbide-tipped blade on a circular saw or jigsaw. The blade makes the difference.
Cut at a steady speed to avoid edge chipping.
Wear a dust mask and eye protection; cement dust is fine and irritating.
How to fix cement particle board?
Fix cement particle boards using corrosion-resistant screws or nails. You can also use a combination of adhesive and mechanical fixings.
Make sure your supporting structure is level. Position boards to maintain recommended edge gaps and tighten fixings without compressing the board.
