This paper analyses changes in the flexural strength and the modulus of elasticity on particleboard depending on the material used for particleboard coating. Three-layer 18 mm thick particleboard which is mainly used in the manufacture of furniture was coated with several different coating materials. The coating was done with beech veneer (1-3 layers), melamine foil and ultrapas. A number of tubes were also varnished (PU varnish) after they were coated with a single layer of veneer, after which the effect of varnishing on the flexural strength and the modulus of elasticity was analysed. It was concluded that coating and the properties of the coating material affect the flexural strength and the modulus of elasticity.
