Inspiration.

A Legacy Rooted in the Desert

In the heart of the desert, where towering date palm trees symbolize our heritage, a groundbreaking innovation has emerged: DesertBoard's Palm Strand Board ( PSB^® ), the world’s first engineered palm-based board.

For centuries, date palm trees have been a vital resource in the Middle East, historically used to construct Barasti houses that provided essential shelter in the harsh desert climate. Inspired by the rich legacy and the vision of the UAE's founding father, Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, DesertBoard successfully produced the first engineered board in 2021.

Key USPS.

Deforestation Free

100% sustainable boards made from the UAE’s annually regenerated date palm fronds, eliminating the need to cut down trees, and reducing reliance on imported wood.

Zero Formaldehyde

Designed for a healthier, eco-friendly indoor environment with zero formaldehyde emission.

Carbon Sink

PSB^® boards act as an artificial carbon sink as they can store the carbon within their structure which would have otherwise been released to the atmosphere or incinerated, helping to mitigate climate change by reducing atmospheric CO₂ levels.

Spearheading the Circular Economy

PSB^® boards are 100% reusable and recyclable, enabling a closed-loop lifecycle that minimizes waste and maximizes sustainability.

Versatile

Highly customizable boards with a variety of finishes, designed to meet the diverse needs of the construction & allied industries.

Production Facility

Capable of producing 6,200 sustainable PSB^® boards per day, accommodating 16 (20-foot containers) daily.

Bio-Economical

An eco-friendly, cost-efficient alternative to traditional materials, PSB^® Conform boards can be reused over 40 times vertically, saving both cost and time in the construction industry.

Sectors.

PSB^® boards’ diverse product lineup is used in everything from house building, furniture, and interior design to mass timber structures, fire-rated doors, building facades, and flooring, all manufactured locally in the UAE and readily available to meet project demand without delays.

Engineering & Construction

PSB^® board’s high strength and load-bearing capacity meet the needs of builders, constructors, and engineers.

Landscape

PSB^® board’s load-bearing capacity and moisture resistance makes them ideal for outdoor applications.

Interior Design
