Choose 12mm buffalo board when you need a tougher, stiffer panel with secure footing. This phenolic birch sheet carries a textured anti-slip mesh film on one face and a smooth phenolic film on the reverse. Because the dense birch core is cross-banded, the sheet stays flat, machines cleanly and holds fixings well. As a result, it excels in van and trailer floors, loading ramps, stages, steps and industrial platforms.
- Anti-slip mesh surface for safer grip in wet or dusty conditions
- Smooth reverse film that wipes clean quickly
- Birch-throughout core for high load capacity and reliable screw holding
- Moisture & abrasion resistance thanks to phenolic films and WBP bonding
- Factory-sealed edges; after cutting, seal fresh edges to keep moisture out
- Dark brown finish for a professional, consistent look

First, acclimatise boards to site conditions. Next, pre-drill and fix at the recommended centres with the mesh face up. Then leave movement gaps at walls and upstands. Finally, touch in cut edges with suitable paint or sealant. Because the reverse is smooth, it bonds well to battens, adhesives or overlays.
1. Is 12 mm the right thickness for floors?
Often yes. It suits close joist centres and medium duty. For wider spans or heavy loads, step up to a thicker buffalo board.
2. Can it be CNC cut?
Absolutely. Buffalo board cuts, drills and routes cleanly; just seal new edges.
3. Is it waterproof?
It’s water-resistant, not fully waterproof. Avoid standing water and always seal edges after trimming.
4. Do you deliver nationwide?
Yes—order online for fast UK delivery with protective packaging.
