Hardboard is a particle board formed from wood fibre pulp produced by refining wood chips. Wood fibres and bonding agents are hot pressed in sheet form into high density panels.
Hardboard has a thickness tolerance of +/-10% the stated material thickness.
Orders using this material generally ship in 1-2 weeks. Find out more.
Design notes
Hardboard is a lightweight, strong, durable, high density wood fibre panel product with a smooth finish on both sides.
It can be either light brown or dark brown in color. Examples of both are shown in the images above. Our current stock is light brown.
Typical uses
Great for use in general construction, floor overlays, prototyping, or furniture.
Environmental info
Unlike other composite wood panels that utilize formaldehyde based resins to bind fibers together, hardboard only uses natural ingredients which makes it an environmentally friendly, 'green' product.
Adhesives, joints & fastenings
Construction adhesives will bond boards well. Follow the adhesive manufacturer's instructions for application processes. Screw joints should be pre-drilled to avoid splitting.
