Best Practices.

To ensure optimal performance in humid conditions, it is recommended to apply a coating to the boards. This will enhance their durability and resilience against moisture, thereby maintaining their reliability in load-bearing applications.

When resizing the boards (cutting to different or smaller dimensions), it is essential to coat the newly exposed edges.

For components being fastened, such as beams, rafters, joists, and trusses, pre-drilling is essential. The diameter of the pre-drilled hole should be smaller than the screw diameter to ensure effective engagement of the screw threads.

During transportation and storage, it is important to protect the PSB® boards from direct exposure to water droplets and precipitation on their edges and surfaces. Ensure that adequate protective covers are provided to maintain their integrity.

For fastening, it is recommended to use screws, nails, or staples with a length at least 2.5 times the thickness of the board, but not less than 50-75 mm. Fastening should be carried out at intervals of 150-300 mm on intermediate supports (depending on roof pitch), 150 mm along board joints, and 100 mm along roof edges.

It is advised not to install decorative tiles or wallpaper directly on PSB® Supreme, nor should plaster work be applied to its surface.

FAQs.

Stalls are temporary structures used to showcase products, services, or brands at exhibitions, retail activations, and trade fairs. They combine functionality with branding and must be durable enough to handle repeated use. Materials like MDF and plywood are common, but eco-friendly alternatives like DesertBoard PSB® are increasingly preferred for their durability and sustainability.

Stalls are assembled, dismantled, and transported multiple times, which puts stress on materials. Weak cores like MDF often warp or crack, leading to costly replacements. Durable materials such as DesertBoard PSB® ensure stalls last longer, lowering lifecycle costs and improving reliability for event contractors.

Stalls are usually built with MDF, plywood, aluminum, and composite boards. MDF is cheap but weak in humid climates, while metals are durable but costly. DesertBoard PSB® offers a modern balance—machinable, eco-friendly, termite-resistant, and carbon-negative—making it ideal for sustainable stall construction.

MDF or plywood stalls may only last for one or two events before needing replacement. DesertBoard PSB® stalls, by contrast, can be reused across dozens of campaigns thanks to their engineered durability. This extended lifespan reduces costs and environmental impact, making them more efficient.

Yes. Sustainable materials now allow for both creative design and environmental responsibility. DesertBoard PSB® supports laminates, digital prints, and CNC finishes, giving brands the flexibility to design attractive stalls while reducing embodied carbon.

Costs vary depending on size, design complexity, and materials. MDF stalls may seem cheaper upfront but require frequent replacement. DesertBoard PSB® stalls cost slightly more initially but provide far greater lifecycle value by lasting longer and reducing waste.

Stalls are often the first interaction between a brand and its audience at exhibitions. High-quality, well-designed stalls create professionalism and trust, while weak or poorly finished stalls harm perception. By using DesertBoard PSB®, brands ensure durable, eco-conscious stalls that enhance reputation.

Yes. Reusable stalls save costs and support sustainability by avoiding single-use waste. DesertBoard PSB® is engineered for reusability, enabling contractors and brands to adapt the same stall structure across multiple events with refreshed finishes or branding.

Yes. While MDF stalls quickly deteriorate outdoors, DesertBoard PSB® resists humidity, termites, and climate stress when coated properly. This makes it suitable for both indoor exhibitions and outdoor brand activations, providing reliability across varied environments.

Yes. DesertBoard PSB® is manufactured locally in Abu Dhabi, making sustainable stall materials readily available across the GCC. Carbon-negative, zero-formaldehyde, and termite-resistant, DesertBoard delivers both performance and eco-responsibility for stall construction.

Stalls need materials that are durable, lightweight, and easy to assemble. DesertBoard PSB® provides superior density, machinability, and screw-holding capacity, making it perfect for modular stalls. Unlike MDF, it resists termites, warping, and humidity, ensuring stalls remain strong and attractive even after repeated use in GCC climates. Its zero-formaldehyde certification also ensures healthier indoor environments at trade shows, exhibitions, and retail activations.

Stall construction often produces high waste due to single-use MDF or plywood. DesertBoard PSB® is carbon-negative, manufactured locally from upcycled palm fronds, and engineered for reuse. This reduces waste, lowers embodied carbon, and aligns stalls with ESG objectives. For brands, building stalls from DesertBoard demonstrates visible environmental responsibility in public-facing events.

Yes. DesertBoard PSB® is designed for repeated assembly and dismantling. While MDF stalls often collapse after one or two uses, DesertBoard maintains stability and strength across dozens of events. This reusability lowers replacement frequency, cuts costs, and reduces environmental impact, making it an ideal choice for event contractors and brands attending multiple trade shows.

MDF is cheap upfront but emits formaldehyde, swells in humid conditions, and often fails after minimal use. DesertBoard PSB® eliminates these issues with zero-formaldehyde emissions, termite resistance, and dimensional stability. It also provides smoother surfaces for laminates, paints, or graphics, giving stalls a premium look while being sustainable.

DesertBoard may cost slightly more than MDF upfront, but its reusability delivers major savings. Boards can be reused for dozens of stalls, reducing material purchases and disposal costs. Its local manufacturing also lowers transport expenses. Over multiple events, DesertBoard stalls are more cost-efficient than disposable MDF alternatives.

Yes. DesertBoard PSB® supports CNC cutting, engraving, laminates, and digital prints, making it ideal for customized branded stalls. Its machinability ensures precise detailing for logos, product displays, or interactive elements. This creative flexibility allows brands to achieve striking, on-brand stalls while using sustainable materials.

Exhibition halls often concentrate VOCs from MDF-based stalls, harming indoor air quality. DesertBoard PSB® is certified zero-formaldehyde, ensuring healthier spaces for staff and visitors. By choosing DesertBoard, event organizers improve wellness while also promoting sustainability in high-footfall environments.

DesertBoard PSB® is certified by the UAE Al Sa’afat (Dubai Municipality) Formaldehyde Content Certificate (E0) for zero formaldehyde emissions, ensuring healthier indoor air quality. In addition, Wimpey Laboratories testing confirms its exceptional structural properties: Density: Average of 835 kg/m³, Bending Strength: Average of 19.8 N/mm², Modulus of Elasticity: Average of 3626 N/mm², Internal Bond Strength: Average of 0.95 N/mm², Moisture Content: Average of 5.42%, Screw Withdrawal (Face): Average of 1295 N, Screw Withdrawal (Edge): Average of 941 N. These certifications and test results give architects, contractors, and furniture manufacturers confidence that DesertBoard PSB® meets international standards for safety, durability, and sustainability, while delivering high performance stall applications.

Yes. DesertBoard’s machinable surface allows easy updates with laminates, paints, and graphics, making it perfect for rebranding across different campaigns. This adaptability allows brands to refresh visuals while reusing the same stall structure, saving costs and reducing waste.

By building stalls with DesertBoard, brands can promote their commitment to sustainability in a visible, consumer-facing way. This strengthens ESG narratives, enhances reputation, and resonates with eco-conscious audiences, all while delivering durable, reusable stall structures.
