Blockboard is a timber-based sheet material that comprises a core faced on both sides. The core is made from parallel, rectangular-section, bonded softwood strips (around 28mm wide); these are sandwiched between a variety of facing materials which can be veneers of softwood, hardwood, thin MDF or particle board. The assembly is glued under high pressure.

The construction can comprise three-layer – with a single facing on each side of the core, e.g MDF or particleboard, or it can be five-layer for better stability – with two facings on each side. The grain of the facing material is usually arranged so that it is perpendicular to that of the core strips – which for reasons of strength run along the length of the board and are usually made from seasoned, lightweight timbers, such as poplar or spruce. Their moisture content is usually 12% or less.

Blockboard can also be referred to as battenboard, coreboard or lumber core (US).
