Laminated Fibreboard

Laminated Fibreboard

Laminated fibreboard, also known as hardboard, is a type of engineered wood product that is made from wood fibres that have been compressed and bonded together using heat and pressure. The resulting board is dense, strong, and highly resistant to warping, cracking, and splitting. Laminated fibreboard is typically made from either softwood or hardwood fibres, and can be produced in a range of thicknesses and densities to suit various applications. The manufacturing process for laminated fibreboard involves first breaking down wood chips or other wood waste into small fibres. These fibres are then mixed with a resin binder and formed into a mat, which is then compressed and heated to fuse the fibres together. The resulting board can be further processed to add various surface finishes, such as a smooth or textured surface, or a decorative veneer. Laminated fibreboard is a versatile material that is commonly used in a wide range of applications, including furniture, cabinetry, flooring, wall paneling, and decorative mouldings. It is also used in the construction industry as a substrate for roofing and siding materials, and as a backing material for wall tiles and other decorative finishes. One of the key advantages of laminated fibreboard is its strength and durability. It is highly resistant to moisture, making it ideal for use in humid environments such as bathrooms and kitchens. It is also resistant to impact and abrasion, making it a popular choice for high-traffic areas such as commercial flooring and wall paneling.
