B-gradeCondition grade 7/10 (B-grade). Assessed by the seller at listing; figures below relate to this specific lot of 30 sheets.
B-grade MDF — minor edge bumps and corner damage but full sheet area usable. Half the price of A-grade. Perfect for fit-out, cabinets and concealed work. Fresh to market — posted 5 days ago by Liverpool merchant Mersey Boards.
Surplus stock like this exists because projects over-order to avoid downtime — the saving gets passed to you instead of the skip. B-grade pricing reflects cosmetics, not performance — the defect notes below set out exactly what was downgraded and why.
No reuse CO₂ credit is claimed on this lot: it is unused stock, so the embodied carbon was committed at manufacture. Buying it still prevents waste — material sent to landfill or energy recovery delivers none of its embodied value.
If your project tracks embodied carbon (BREEAM, Part Z readiness, or client ESG reporting), keep this listing reference as evidence of avoided emissions.
Where the listing states a grade (C16/C24) the stamp is on the timber. Reclaimed boards from Mersey Boards are sold for non-structural use unless re-graded by an inspector.
The seller has metal-detected the stock; expect the odd missed fixing — budget 1 saw blades for a lot this size and check with a detector before machining.
Keep it stick-stacked, off the ground and under cover, and let it acclimatise on site for 7–14 days before fixing internally.
