Builder's Warehouse: Comparing Yellow, Orange, and Green Tongue Flooring

 

 

Yellow, orange, and green tongue flooring are common types of particleboard used in construction, particularly for subfloors and suspended floors. Each color typically denotes a specific thickness and moisture resistance level. Here's a breakdown of their key differences:

Thickness and Joist Spacing

• Yellow Tongue: Generally 19mm thick, suitable for joist centers up to 450mm.with sizes of 3600mm x 800mm and 1800mm x 800mm
• Orange Tongue: Typically 19mm thick, suitable for joist centers up to 450mm.with sizes of 3600mm x 900mm
• Green Tongue: Can vary in thickness but is often 19mm. It's often associated with moisture-resistant properties, making it suitable for areas prone to moisture. with size 3600mm x 900mm

Moisture Resistance

• Green Tongue: As mentioned, often has higher moisture resistance properties, making it a good choice for areas like bathrooms or kitchens.
• Yellow and Orange Tongue: While not as moisture-resistant as green tongue, they are still suitable for most residential applications.

Note: The specific properties of these products can vary depending on the manufacturer and the particular product line. Always check the product specifications to ensure it meets your specific needs.

Factors to Consider When Choosing

When selecting the right type of tongue flooring, consider:

• Joist spacing: Determine the distance between your joists to choose the appropriate thickness.
• Moisture exposure: If the area is prone to moisture, green tongue might be a better option.
• Load-bearing requirements: The thickness of the flooring will influence its load-bearing capacity.
