WCB · Waterproof Construction Board

Works like wood.
Lives underwater.

The board you build cabinetry, carcasses and clinical furniture from. One solid panel, waterproof the whole way through. Work it with the tools already on your bench, and water never finds a way in.

What it means for the people in the room.

A room that never rots. Water never gets in — not at a face, an edge or a drilled hole. The fit-out paid for once is the one still working decades later, guaranteed for life in writing.

Surfaces that protect people. Built-in silver-ion protection kills 99.99% of MRSA and E. coli around the clock — for patients, staff and families — and it never wears off.

Clean with the strong stuff. Disinfect between every patient. Hose down every kennel. The surface shrugs off the harshest cleaning. No lifting, no cracking, no fading.

Nothing left behind. Made using recycled material and fully recyclable — at the end of the room’s long life the boards come back to us, free, to become the next ones.

If you can work wood, you can work this

No new tools. No new tricks.

Saw it, route it, drill it and fix it with the kit you already own. No specialist blades, no rigs to learn. It machines like a dense hardwood and holds a screw far harder than MDF.

The patented W14 system

Two panels in. One sealed piece out.

Most cabinetry relies on mechanical joints, and every joint is a gap where water sits and bacteria breed. W14 chemically welds WCB into one solid piece. Try to pull it apart.

✓
No seam, no harbourNowhere for bacteria to sit, nothing for water to creep behind.
✓
Made for clinical seamsWorktops, splashbacks and carcass joints become one continuous waterproof surface — exactly what a hospital or surgery needs.

How it’s made

Solid skin. Closed-cell core.

Two solid skins co-extruded with a closed-cell core, all in one piece. It’s the same waterproof material right the way through, so a cut edge or a drilled hole is just as waterproof as the face. Lighter than solid-grade laminate, stiff under load, and it takes a fixing like the timber you already trust.

Complies

Figures from the WCB material characteristics datasheet (18 mm board, EN 438-2 series). The headline is the one that matters on site: water can’t get in.

Where it earns its place

The same four wins, in every room.

Healthcare

Constant humidity and daily wash-down — the carcass never swells.

Dental

Wiped down with the harsh stuff between every patient. The surface stays put.

Veterinary

Hosed down daily, occupied around the clock. It shrugs it off.

Flood resilience

Fully submerged in a flood, the kitchen dries out and goes back in.

The test, not the claim

Drill it. Fill it. Nothing gets in.
