Particleboard

Specifying particleboard or MDF core used to be almost an afterthought. Today, green building requirements, Forest Stewardship Council® certification (Forest Stewardship Council® C013110), sustainability, machinability, low emissions and cost are just some of the many criteria that make panel core material more important than ever. That’s why Aetna carries only the best brands, offering the widest range of performance options.
