LCB stands for Laminated Chipboard, also known as Melamine Faced Chipboard (MFC). It is a type of engineered wood product made by compressing wood chips and resin under heat and pressure to form a dense board, which is then laminated on both sides with a decorative melamine layer. This gives it a ready-to-use, smooth, and durable finish.
It is widely used in the furniture industry for making wardrobes, kitchen cabinets, office partitions, and shelving, due to its affordability, clean look, and wide availability of colors.
