Product Overview
Standard hardboard sheet, measuring 3.2mm thick and sized 1220mm x 610mm (4' x 2'). Manufactured from compressed fine wood fibres, this engineered panel is designed for non-structural interior applications where strength, stability, and a smooth finish are required.
The board features one smooth face suitable for painting or covering, and one coarse reverse face that improves grip when laid against floor surfaces or substrates. Its thin profile provides flexibility while retaining durability, making it well suited to floor lining, furniture construction, and decorative applications.
Hardboard offers a cost-effective alternative to solid timber, with consistent density and reliable performance.
