At Domus Trading, we understand that the integrity of any construction project begins with choosing the right building materials. As the official distributor of VMG Lignum Boards in the UAE and KSA, our mission is to bring the Gulf region world-class engineered wood solutions that deliver performance, consistency, and safety across a wide range of applications.
One of the standout features of VMG Lignum Boards is their variety of technical classifications—from P4 to P7—engineered to meet both load-bearing and environmental resistance demands.
🔍 What Are P4 to P7 Grades and Why Do They Matter?
These grades refer to structural particle boards categorized under European standard EN 312, defining their intended usage and performance characteristics in various conditions:
| Grade | Description | Application |
|---|---|---|
| P4 | Load-bearing for dry conditions | Walls, floors, dry interior partitioning |
| P5 | Load-bearing for humid conditions | Kitchens, bathrooms, semi-open areas |
| P6 | Heavy-duty for dry conditions | Industrial floors, load-bearing walls |
| P7 | Heavy-duty for humid conditions | Wet rooms, ground-level floors, moisture-prone areas |
With this clear classification system, architects, contractors, and engineers can select the appropriate board based on structural and environmental needs, ensuring long-term durability and compliance.
✅ Key Advantages of VMG Lignum Boards Over OSB
While OSB (Oriented Strand Board) is a common choice in construction, VMG Lignum Boards offer a host of technical and environmental advantages:
- 🔧 Superior Dimensional Stability:
TS (thickness swelling) for P5 and P7 boards is only 9–10%, compared to up to 15% in OSB-3. - 💧 Enhanced Moisture Resistance:
Ideal for the humid environments of the UAE and Saudi Arabia. - 🔇 Improved Sound and Thermal Insulation:
Better performance in noise reduction and energy efficiency. - 🌿 Certified Formaldehyde Emission Class E1:
Safe for indoor environments with low emissions, meeting European health standards. - ♻️ Sustainable & Recyclable:
Manufactured using 100% wood biomass from FSC® certified forests. - 🔩 Even Mechanical Resistance in All Directions:
Unlike OSB, Lignum boards feature multi-directional particle distribution, ensuring consistent load support across all axes.
🏗️ Where to Use P4–P7 Lignum Boards
These boards are designed for both residential and commercial environments, including:
- Flooring systems on metal or wooden beams
- Wall bracing and partitioning in homes, offices, and retail spaces
- Load-bearing platforms for temporary or permanent installations
- Wet environments like bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry areas
- Industrial walls and heavy-duty flooring in factories or warehouses
