# Fibreboards: A Versatile Engineered Wood Product
Fibreboards are engineered wood products made from wood fibres, bonded together under heat and pressure. They are widely used in construction, furniture, and interior design due to their affordability, versatility, and smooth surface.
## Types of Fibreboards
1. Low-Density Fibreboard (LDF) – Soft and lightweight, often used for insulation and temporary structures.
2. Medium-Density Fibreboard (MDF) – Denser than LDF, ideal for furniture, cabinetry, and decorative panels.
3. High-Density Fibreboard (HDF) – Extremely durable, used for flooring, doors, and heavy-duty applications.
## Advantages
– Smooth Surface – Easy to paint, laminate, or veneer.
– Cost-Effective – Cheaper than solid wood but offers similar aesthetics.
– Eco-Friendly Options – Can be made from recycled wood or sustainable sources.
## Common Uses
– Furniture manufacturing
– Wall paneling and flooring
– Shelving and cabinetry
Fibreboards provide a practical alternative to natural wood, balancing performance, affordability, and sustainability.
