The Action TESA Boilo board is designed for spaces where water is a daily challenge. This guide explains where the Action TESA Boilo board works best and how to get a long life from it.

Washrooms in offices, hospitals, schools and homes are some of the toughest environments for furniture. Constant moisture, cleaning water and heavy use can damage ordinary boards quickly. Action TESA developed Boilo for exactly these spaces. If you are looking for Action TESA Boilo board dealers in Salem, here is what you should know.
What is Boilo?
Boilo is a boiling-water-proof (BWP) high density fibre board. Action TESA describes it as high density with a toughened surface, good load-bearing and impact resistance, dimensional stability and termite resistance. A fire-retardant (FR) grade has also been introduced.
Where Boilo is commonly used
- Washroom and toilet cubicles
- Bathroom partitions
- Kitchen sink units and base cabinets
- Bathroom vanities and storage
- Shelving in stores, utility rooms and warehouses
- Stage flooring and staircases, as per brand guidance
Boilo vs HDHMR vs MDF
| Board | Water Exposure | Typical Use |
|---|---|---|
| MDF | Dry areas | Decor, panels, painted furniture |
| HDHMR | Humidity, occasional splashes | Kitchen and wardrobe shutters |
| Boilo (BWP) | Regular water and steam | Washrooms, sink units, partitions |

Tips for working with Boilo

- Seal exposed edges for the best long-term performance.

Action TESA Boilo Board vs BWP Plywood
