Mr Chips

Mr Chips represents the conclusion of research into wood strand moulding, and aims to raise the profile of the material and the process. Environmentally it is better than plywood, and advances in binder technologies have removed previous concerns about formaldehyde emissions from oriented strand board. The material also offers financial advantages over other wood products with its extremely low production costs.

The research also highlighted the flexibility of the process, with more acute angles and complex curves achievable than with traditional wood moulding techniques. Aesthetically, the process also offers a completely new appearance. The 'cheap' and industrial look of the material is transformed into an attractive looking, high-end finish, suitable for a variety of applications.
