WHAT IS HIGH DENSITY FIBREBOARD (HDF)?
HDF (High-Density Fibreboard/Hardboard) is like MDF in that it is a man-made composite panel product that is manufactured from compressed wood fibers. It is a stronger, harder product than MDF with a typical density of up to 900kg/m3. HDF is predominantly used in laminate flooring products where this density is required, though other uses include door skins and underlayment.
HDF is a very thin board, with a typical thickness of 3mm-8mm, and is also often supplied perforated, meaning it is completely inappropriate as a substrate for creating interior moulding. You may have seen HDF in your home as it is also commonly used as backing panels for furniture- if so you will understand how unsuited this material is for creating skirting boards and architrave!
As the name suggests, a High-Density Fibreboard is a hard and dense form of an engineered wood that is manufactured by hot pressing wood fibers extracted from waste chips or wood pulp, and binding them into a board using a range of synthetic resins and binders at very high pressure. HDF does not have any grains in the cross-section and has a uniform density. HDF is dimensionally very stable and can be finished using paints, veneers, and laminates.
A High-Density fiberboard is not very water-resistant; it swells when exposed to water or moisture and therefore it is better used indoors.
It can be used as a flooring substrate, kitchen cabinets, framework, boxes, shutters, and internal shelves of fitted wardrobes, decorative wall panelling, wall panelling for home theatres and music rooms due to its sound-proofing properties, open shelves in the kitchen or living rooms, etc.
