Hardboard FAQs

What is hardboard?

Hardboard is a type of engineered wood product that is made from wood fibres that have been compressed under high heat and pressure. This process results in a dense, flat panel that is uniform in thickness and appearance. It is known for its strength and durability, making it a popular choice for a wide range of applications. Unlike other wood panels, hardboard does not have a grain, which means it can be cut in any direction without the risk of splitting or breaking. It’s also relatively lightweight, yet strong enough to resist bending and warping over time.

What is a hardboard used for?

Hardboard is incredibly versatile and can be used for a variety of applications, both in residential and commercial settings. Its common uses include interior wall panelling, furniture manufacture, and the production of cabinetry and shelving. Due to its smooth surface and stability, it is also frequently used as a backing for wardrobes, drawer bottoms, and as a substrate for flooring and countertops. 

 

Cabinet Timbers offers hardboard that is specifically designed to meet the demands of various projects, ensuring clients can utilise it for everything from practical applications, like door skins in moisture-prone areas, to creative endeavours, such as decorative interior lining and customised furniture pieces.
