Profboard cutting boards are used by professional chefs and food enthusiasts worldwide, so you know you're in good hands in the kitchen with them.

The "click system" design allows you to replace the cutting surface by pulling away from a top layer sheet and clicking a new one back into place. This not only ensures optimal hygiene but also preserves the life of your cutting board. Instead of replacing an entire cutting board, the sheets can be used on both sides, then replaced, saving you money. The sheets are made of high-quality polypropylene which is food approved and can be disposed of in an environmentally friendly way.
