What is Hardboard?

Hardboard is a thick, manufactured wood board made by pressing wood fibres with heat and pressure to create a sturdy, long-lasting panel. It has a smooth front side and a textured or mesh-style back, making it ideal for many residential, interior, commercial and industrial building uses. Stronger and denser than MDF or particleboard, engineered wood offers very stable support and a neat appearance. Its strength and wide range of uses suit both heavy-duty load-bearing structures and decorative features in various projects.

Why Choose the Hardboard Collection?

1. High Strength-to-Weight Ratio
Despite its light weight, engineered wood is still very strong and tough, giving great support without extra bulk.

2. Smooth Surface for Finishing
The smooth side makes painting, laminating or veneering straightforward, and really ideal for jobs needing a neat look.

3. Cost-Effective Option
High-density fibreboard sheets are an affordable pick for underlay, panelling and backboards, with no loss in quality.
