Design notes

Hardboard is a dark brown, lightweight, strong and durable, high density wood fibre panel product with a smooth finish on both sides.

Typical uses

Great for use in general construction, floor overlays 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.
