Particleboard Weight Calculator

A standard 4'×8' sheet of ¾-inch particleboard weighs approximately 75 pounds. Thinner ½-inch sheets weigh around 50 pounds, while thicker 1-inch sheets can weigh up to 100 pounds. Weight varies slightly by manufacturer and moisture content.

Particleboard has an average density of 45 lb/ft³ (720 kg/m³). This is lower than MDF at 50 lb/ft³ but similar to some softwood plywoods. Density can range from 37-55 lb/ft³ depending on grade and manufacturing process.

Particleboard is typically 5-15% lighter than plywood of the same thickness. A ¾-inch particleboard sheet weighs about 75 lbs while ¾-inch plywood weighs 60-85 lbs depending on wood species. However, particleboard is denser than some softwood plywoods.

Multiply length × width × thickness to get volume in cubic feet, then multiply by 45 lb/ft³ (particleboard density). Add 10-15% for packaging weight. For example, a 4×8×0.75" sheet = 2 ft³ × 45 = 90 lbs including packaging.

Yes, weight varies by density grade. Low-density particleboard (LD) weighs 37-43 lb/ft³, medium-density (MD) weighs 43-50 lb/ft³, and high-density weighs 50+ lb/ft³. Most furniture-grade particleboard falls in the medium-density range around 45 lb/ft³.
