Fixboards

Our fixboards collection consists of solid laminated pine boards made from premium redwood, chosen for strength and appearance. These boards are ideal for all kinds of internal joinery work, from shelves, cabinets, window boards and bespoke furniture to skirting, panelling or alcove fill-ins. Because they are laminated and crafted from solid pine, Fixboards offer excellent stability and a clean, natural finish which can be stained, painted or varnished to match your interior style.

The thicknesses commonly available (18mm and 27mm) ensure that you can select a board suited to the load and span required. The standard dimensions—lengths of up to 2400mm and varying widths—mean fewer joints, less waste and a nicer, more finished look in visible applications. Their laminated build reduces warping compared to single-piece timber, making Fixboards a go-to choice where flatness and strength matter, such as shelving, mantelpieces or window boards.

Fixboards blend well both for functional structural uses and decorative applications. If you're building cabinets or furniture pieces where the ends or edges will be seen, Fixboards provide a nicer grain and smoother finish than many engineered alternatives. For more cost-effective panels where surface finish is less critical, or for backing, you may prefer MDF boards or chipboard sheets which give similar size possibilities but at lower cost.

Working with fixboards is straightforward. When cutting, routing or sanding, they behave like good quality softwood—tools cut cleanly, and edges can be finished neatly. Because the laminations help to hold stability, there is less concern about seasonal movement, especially indoors. Fixboards are also easy to fix in place using screws or nails; pre-drilling is advisable in thicker pieces to avoid splitting. Their natural finish takes well to sealers or surface coatings, letting you bring out the grain or protect against moisture and wear.

At George Hill Timber we offer fixboards for collection at our branches in Oldham, Bolton, Nelson and Sale, or we can deliver to your site (orders over our minimum free-delivery threshold qualify). Our team are happy to help you select the right thickness, width and finish of Fixboards for your project, whether it's furniture, interior trim or something more specialised.
