A: Yes, these panels are commonly used as sub-flooring in domestic and commercial builds, especially in moisture-prone areas.
Q: Are these panels suitable for external use?
A: No, moisture-resistant panels are designed for internal use only. For exterior projects, use weatherproof or exterior-grade boards.
Q: What’s the difference between square edge and tongue & groove?
