Hardboard

Hardboard, also known as high-density fibreboard (HDF), is an engineered wood product made from wood fibres, specifically wood chips or sawmill shavings, which are compressed under high pressure and heat. The resulting panel is dense, rigid, and smooth on one side, making it suitable for a variety of applications. It’s important to note that hardboard is not suitable for applications where exposure to moisture is prolonged, as it can swell and deteriorate when exposed to water. For wet or outdoor applications, other materials with higher resistance to moisture, such as marine-grade plywood or certain composite panels, may be more suitable. Always refer to the manufacturer’s recommendations and guidelines when working with hardboard.
