What is "hardboard"?
Hardboard is a type of engineered wood made from compressed wood fibers and resin, which are pressed together under high heat and pressure. It is denser and harder than other fiberboard materials, making it more durable and resistant to wear. Hardboard is commonly used in furniture making, cabinetry, and as a backing material for panels and doors. It is smooth on both sides and can be painted or laminated for different finishes. Hardboard is valued for its strength, versatility, and ability to withstand impact.
