Desert Board, the world’s first engineered palm-based board made from repurposed palm frond waste, is Dubai Design Week’s Sustainable Material Partner.
Desert Board is the pioneering manufacturer of the world's first engineered palm-based board PSB®, crafted from the UAE's annually regenerated date palm biomass collected from the palm fronds. This regionally manufactured material is far more than a building board—it's a pioneering leap forward in sustainable construction.
Their engineered boards are zero-emission, 100% sustainable, fire-rated, high-moisture resistant, high-load bearing, strong, durable, versatile, possess high screw withdrawal and are a sustainable alternative to traditional wood. At the end of its life cycle, these boards can be reused or recycled, minimizing waste and continuing the cycle of sustainability.
Desert Board offers a diverse range of specific palm strand boards tailored to various applications. From structurally soundproof walls and floors to moisture-resistant and fire-retardant doors, formwork and shuttering, their PSB® boards provide solutions for both indoor and outdoor environments, with uncompromising safety, able to withstand flames and heat, with crucial time for safe evacuation.
As Dubai Design Week’s Sustainable Material Partner, the festival’s Information Desk, signage and wayfinding this year is primarily crafted from this innovative material.
