A quick look at Pegboards
Pegboards , also known as pegboards , are practical and versatile wall structures . They are designed to decorate , organize , and store different objects such as tools, accessories, or supplies. The wooden panel has multiple regularly spaced holes . These holes allow for the attachment of hooks, shelves, brackets, and other accessories specifically designed to fit the Pegboard . With this configuration, users can easily hang and position their objects in an orderly and visible manner. Thus, providing quick , convenient , and aesthetic access.
Pegboards offer a practical solution for organizing workspaces such as garages, workshops, kitchens, or offices. They therefore help free up space . By storing items on the wall rather than on cluttered shelves or drawers. Their modular design allows the layout to be adjusted and customized to suit the specific needs of each user.
Therefore, Pegboards make organization and storage easier. They offer a flexible and customizable solution for hanging and positioning various objects. They help keep workspaces clean , tidy and functional .
Woods used for Pegboards:
Birch plywood 18 mm thick
18mm thick birch plywood is Aire's preferred material. It is also the most popular for creating its Pegboards. Plywood is a type of panel that stacks and glues together several thin layers of wood , called veneers. This multi-layer construction gives plywood great strength.
In addition to its strength, birch plywood offers a smooth, natural finish . Giving the Pegboards a sleek , modern , and minimalist look.
Its homogeneous surface allows for precise cutting, facilitating the adjustment of hooks and accessories.
This wood is classified in class B , which means that it is considered a beautiful wood . It is not one of the lightest woods but it is still a very flexible wood. This allows it to adapt to all construction projects . In addition, this material has a certain resistance to humidity. It can be used in a bathroom , for example. On the other hand, it is not recommended to put this wood outside permanently because it risks being damaged.
18 mm thick pine plywood
18mm thick pine plywood is a prime material also used by Aire for the manufacture of our Pegboards . Plywood is a type of panel made up of several thin layers of wood , called veneers, which are stacked and glued together . This multi-layer construction gives plywood great strength .
Pine is a wood that is both strong and light ; it is part of class A , the lightest woods.
This allows for the creation of sturdy pegboards while maintaining a certain ease of handling . Its distinctive grain and natural color nuances also give the pegboards an attractive and warm appearance. Thus making them aesthetically pleasing . This gives them a rougher feel than birch plywood, which will have a smoother and lighter appearance.
With a thickness of 18 mm, the pine plywood provides a solid and sturdy base for the Pegboards. This thickness ensures optimal stability . This allows the Pegboards to easily support the weight of various objects , such as tools, office accessories or kitchen utensils.
In addition to its strength and stability, pine plywood is also a durable material . Pine has a natural resistance to rot and insects . This extends the lifespan of pegboards.
The Valchromat
Valchromat is a high-density fiberboard material impregnated with colored resin. Unlike traditional fiberboard, Valchromat has a uniform and intense color throughout its thickness, giving it an attractive aesthetic appearance.
Valchromat is valued for its versatility and superior performance . It is available in a wide range of colors , making it suitable for different styles and projects . It also offers high resistance to impact , wear , and moisture , making it an ideal choice for applications requiring increased durability.
In addition to its robust physical properties , Valchromat is easy to machine and process . It can be cut, engraved, milled and drilled as required, offering great freedom of design . This makes it a popular material for designers , architects and craftsmen looking for innovative and creative solutions.

18 mm OSB
OSB , also known as Oriented Strand Board, is a type of oriented strand board. It is made up of several wood strips arranged in successive layers . The strips are compressed and glued in the same direction using a synthetic resin and wax , hence the term "oriented".
Its high density and cross-layered composition allow it to withstand heavy loads and maintain its shape and stability under varied conditions. This makes it an ideal material for floors , walls , roofs and other structural applications .
It is a material made up of several layers of compressed and firmly glued wooden slats . This structure gives it properties similar to those of solid wood, which explains its widespread use in the fields of interior design and construction.
The Laminate
Laminate is a flooring or surface material widely used in construction and interior design projects . It is composed of several layers , including a melamine resin layer , a decorative layer imitating various materials such as wood , stone or tile , and a transparent protective layer.
Laminate has many advantages . First of all, it is valued for its durability and resistance to wear. The top protective layer provides excellent resistance to scratches , stains , and abrasion , making it an ideal choice for high-traffic areas, such as hallways, living rooms, and kitchens. In addition, laminate is easy to maintain and requires little effort to clean.
Another interesting feature of laminate is its resistance to discoloration caused by sunlight . Thanks to its protective layer , it retains its color and aesthetic appearance for many years, even in areas exposed to direct sunlight.
The visual advantage of wood laminate is that it achieves the charm and beauty of natural wood , while offering superior durability and ease of maintenance . In addition, wood laminate is often less expensive than solid wood , making it a popular choice for furniture construction and interior design.
The wood used for the accessories:
The solid beech
Solid beech is a premium wood often used for accessories and furniture pieces . It is distinguished by its natural beauty and durability , making it an ideal choice for accessories to be attached to pegboards. Beech is known for its strength and stability , meaning it retains its shape and dimensions over time. This makes it a reliable material for accessories that need to support light and moderate loads.
In addition, beech is easy to work with , allowing for precise custom-made pieces.
In addition to its mechanical properties, solid beech also offers attractive aesthetics . It has a fine, regular texture , with color variations ranging from grayish-white to a pale pink, sometimes with a reddish tinge in the heart. It is characterized by its hardness and finely grained texture , with a straight grain and a homogeneous structure. When cut into quarters, beech has a slightly flamed appearance with delicate veins. In addition, it does not produce splinters , making it pleasant to handle.
This natural color palette brings warmth and timeless elegance to solid beech accessories.
In terms of maintenance, solid beech is relatively easy to maintain. Regular dusting and wiping with a damp cloth are generally sufficient to keep it clean.
