High Density Chopping Boards
Commercial High Density Chopping Boards are essential workhorses in professional kitchens across the UK. Made from durable HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene), these boards provide the perfect cutting surface for busy chefs in restaurants, hotels, and catering operations. Unlike domestic boards, these commercial-grade champions resist knife damage, withstand intensive daily use, and help maintain crucial food safety standards through colour-coding systems. They pair perfectly with professional knives and kitchen utensils to create an efficient prep station. After 50 years of supplying the industry, we've seen how the right chopping board transforms food preparation—boosting efficiency, hygiene, and safety!

How Commercial High Density Chopping Boards Work
Commercial high density chopping boards are crafted from HDPE—a robust, non-porous plastic that strikes the perfect balance between protecting knife edges and withstanding constant use. The material doesn't harbour bacteria in the same way wooden boards might, while offering a gentle-yet-firm cutting surface. Available in industry-standard colours for different food types (red for raw meat, blue for fish, etc.), they create a visual safety system in busy kitchens. The dense structure prevents deep scoring, which helps maintain hygiene standards, while the non-absorbent surface means juices won't penetrate—critical for preventing cross-contamination in professional environments.

10 years experience
"Don’t skimp on chopping boards—high density ones won’t warp, crack, or stain like the cheapies, and they’ll keep your knives sharper for longer too. Trust me, your prep station deserves gear that can take a beating and still look good!"
Safety Guidelines
- Regular Inspection Check for deep grooves—harbours harmful bacteria.
- Strict Coding Never mix colour uses—prevents dangerous cross-contamination.
- Proper Cleaning Sanitise after each use—maintains hygiene standards.
- Secure Placement Use non-slip mats underneath—prevents accidents.
- Vertical Storage Store upright—allows complete drying.
- Replace When Scored Retire heavily grooved boards—safety first.
Top Tips for Using Commercial High Density Chopping Boards
To maximise the lifespan of your HDPE boards, rotate them regularly to ensure even wear across the surface. After heavy use, scrub with a stiff brush and sanitiser rather than bleach, which can damage the material over time. Consider using board scrapers to remove stubborn food particles, and store boards vertically in a dedicated rack to allow proper air circulation and prevent moisture buildup. Regularly inspect for deep scores that might harbour bacteria—when in doubt, replace!
