Hex Board
Good storage needs to handle more than light use. Garages, workshops, and workspaces can be hard on materials, especially when tools, equipment, fixings, and stock are being moved around every day. That’s where hex board earns its place.
With its durable surface and distinctive hex pattern, hex board helps create storage that feels strong, practical, and ready for proper use.
Hex board plywood is a type of coated plywood with a hard-wearing, patterned surface.
The hexagonal texture helps improve grip, reduce slipping, and protect the board from everyday wear. It’s often used in spaces where strength and durability matter, from workshops and vans to practical storage systems.
You may also see it referred to as hex board ply, heksa Board, heksa Plus, hexa board, hex ply board, or hex pattern plywood, the names go on. Different names, same general idea: a tough, textured board designed to stand up to regular use.
What is hex board?
Every module is designed to work as part of a wider modular storage system. Start with The Starter Kit, add height with The One Up, or build a wider setup with The One Out Starter Kit and The One Out.
You can keep the system open for quick access, add drawers for smaller parts, or fit doors for a cleaner look. However you build it, the surface is designed to handle real use in garages, workshops, and workspaces. Because good storage should work properly, look right, and grow with your space.
Part of a modular storage system
The hexagonal surface is part of what makes SQUIREL storage feel properly finished.
The hex board’s anti-slip texture helps tools, boxes, and equipment stay where they should, while the clean hex pattern gives each module a more refined finish. It’s strong without looking rough. Practical without feeling basic.
Some materials look good on day one and struggle after that. Standard plywood works well for many projects, but workshop storage often needs something more durable.
Hex clad board is designed for the kind of spaces where storage gets used properly. The textured surface adds grip, the coated finish helps protect against everyday wear, and the pattern gives the system a clean, practical look.
It’s purpose is clear, the hex pattern on Riga Heksa plywood is used to create a hard-wearing surface for demanding spaces.
A strong finish for storage that gets used
For SQUIREL, the point is simple: better materials make better storage.
We chose hex board because it balances durability, practicality, and appearance better than standard sheet materials.
A lot of garage storage on the market follows the same formula: large steel cabinets and industrial-style units. While those systems work for some spaces, we wanted to build something that felt more refined, modular, and better suited to real everyday environments.
SQUIREL storage is designed to feel solid and hard-wearing without looking cold or overly industrial. The textured hex board surface gives that balance. It’s durable enough for garages and workshops, while still bringing a clean, more modern finish to the space.
The anti-slip surface helps equipment stay in place, the coated finish stands up to regular use, and the plywood construction gives each module a stronger furniture-quality feel compared to traditional steel panel systems.
For us, better storage is not just about strength. It’s about creating a system people actually want in their workspace every day.
We don’t use materials simply because they look good in photos. Every surface in the SQUIREL system is chosen because it needs to perform properly in everyday working environments.
Why SQUIREL Uses Hex Plywood
Whether you’re organising a garage, workshop, studio, or business workspace, SQUIREL gives you storage that is designed to feel solid from the start.
Strong plywood construction, a modular setup, and a durable hex board surface all work together to create storage that does what it’s supposed to do. No fuss, no overcomplication, just storage that works and keeps your space in order.
