Specifications
| Property | Detail |
|---|---|
| Material | Hardboard (wood fibre) |
| Finish | Smooth face / mesh reverse |
| Nominal Size | 2440 x 1220 x 3.2mm |
| Use Class | Internal use only |
What it's used for
- Drawer bases and cabinet backs in fitted furniture and joinery
- Wall linings and ceiling backing where a flat, paintable surface is needed
- Floor protection on site during renovation or construction work
- Templates, packing, and general workshop use where an affordable sheet is required
Fitting and handling
Store sheets flat and keep them dry at all times; hardboard will swell and distort if exposed to moisture, so this material is not suitable for damp or external environments. When using as a wall or floor lining, allow sheets to acclimatise to the room conditions for 24 to 48 hours before fixing, particularly in humid spaces. Fix with panel pins, staples, or suitable contact adhesive, ensuring edges are fully supported to prevent flex.
FAQ
What is the difference between hardboard and MDF?
Hardboard is thinner and lighter than MDF, made from compressed wood fibres without added resin binders, making it a cheaper option for backing and lining work. MDF offers a thicker, denser board better suited to routed profiles, shelving, and painted furniture. For cabinet backs and drawer bases, hardboard is a practical, economical choice.
Can hardboard be painted?
Yes. The smooth face takes water-based and solvent-based paints well. Apply a coat of thinned emulsion or a specialist hardboard primer first to seal the surface and reduce paint absorption before applying your finish coat.
