WITH a range of board dimensions to accommodate all sizes of job and a thickness that’s more versatile, LION Floor proves that size really does matter.

LION Floor is the alternative to plywood that’s available in a wide range of sheet sizes. Whether tackling small rooms with compact 1220mm x 610mm boards or large, open areas with 1220mm x 3660mm sheets, LION Floor is said to make resilient floor installation faster and easier. ‘Improving handling in tight spaces or speeding-up coverage over open areas, with LION Floor contractors and installers can choose the board that’s right for the task at hand.’

The company says: ‘The engineered hardboard panel is also available in two thicknesses – a BS Standards compliant 4.8mm thick version (alternative to 6mm plywood) and an even stronger 6mm version for the most demanding projects (equivalent to 9mm plywood).

‘Thinner than BS standard plywood, LION Floor reduces subfloor height, helping to smooth transitions and reducing the chance of needing to trim doors and skirtings – all saving time
on-site.’

Peter Jones from Finnish Fibreboards says: ‘With our wider range of sizes and thinner construction, you’ll find LION Floor is a more versatile solution than plywood when it comes to taking on projects. So, if you’re after a board that’s going to make life a little easier, it really has to be LION Floor because size really does matter.

‘What’s more, it’s been tested and approved by the UK’s largest independent training centre and is more sustainable than plywood, so even if size isn’t a worry, then it’s still a great choice for a high-quality resilient flooring installation.’

Made in Finland from locally sourced wood by-products, LION Floor is described as an alternative to BS 8203 compliant plywood. Its construction and density reportedly mean it’s highly durable and impact resistant.

Concludes the company: ‘The fibreboard construction eliminates the problems that come with the core gaps and overlaps found in plywood and unlike other oil-tempered hardboards, it doesn’t need wetting before installation. The flat, strong panel is ready to receive screeds and feather compounds and fitting is simple too, as it’s laid in the same way as plywood and can be easily cut.’
