Board
Like MDF, board belongs to the family of fibreboards. During the process, wood fibres are compressed under high pressure and temperature with glue. The recycled fibres make this board material environmentally friendly and sustainable.

Lacquerboard is hardboard with a white lacquer coating. This makes the board immediately ready for use and it does not need to be treated if you want to use it in a white colour. You can use lacquerboard, for example, as a back wall for cupboards or other furniture or as panelling for floors or ceilings.
Use board for your next job
Hardboard is suitable for decorative purposes and can only be used indoors. Whereas the top layer is water-repellent, the edges of fibreboards have a suction effect. Board can therefore not be used in damp spaces.
Board is often used in furniture construction or for shop fitting. In addition, it is a popular board material for use in exhibition stands. Do not use (hard) board for constructive purposes; the material was not developed for this purpose.
The variants of hardboard
There are several varieties of hardboard available. Hardboard is completely biodegradable, so the impact on the environment is limited. The back of the board is always rough.
