Fiberboard or fiberboard has the form of a flat sheet of a certain size, produced by pressing from wood fibers, which are waste from sawmills. Fiberboard is widely used in the furniture industry and construction. They can be used for flooring, wall decoration, paneling of wooden structures and furniture upholstery. There are standard sizes of fiberboard, which are presented in a wide range.

Varieties of fiberboard
According to the methods of production and further use, fiberboard boards are classified into the following types:
- soft
- semi-solid;
- superhard;
- ennobled.
Soft fiberboard They are characterized by high porosity, however, they have low strength, therefore they are not used as the main material. They found their application in construction during the installation of sound and heat insulation systems.
Semi-solid fiberboardCompared to soft ones, they have significantly higher density and hardness and are able to withstand impressive loads. They are widely used in the manufacture of furniture structures: rear walls, shelves and drawers.
Fiberboard superhard They are distinguished by high quality and high density. Their undoubted advantages include ease of processing and ease of installation. Basically, they are purchased for the manufacture of arches, doors, partitions and various types of containers. In addition, they can be used as flooring.
Fiberboard ennobled characterized by a carefully processed surface on which the dye is applied, after which the fiberboard is cached. To give special decorative properties to the surface, a pattern can be applied. Imitation under wood is especially popular. The main advantage is its beautiful appearance, and of the shortcomings, a rather high cost and the inability to use for some purposes should be noted.
In a separate group, LDL or laminated fiberboard is isolated. They are fiberboard sheets with a composition of synthetic resins that increase the moisture resistance and strength of the material.
Overall dimensions of a fiberboard sheet
Due to the unique protective and thermal insulation characteristics, fiberboard is successfully used in the construction and repair of various wooden structures and for the production of wooden products.
Fiberboard thickness parameters
As a rule, the thickness of fiberboard varies from 2.5 to 5.5 mm, which is considered quite thin material.
Plates of low and medium density produce the following thickness: 8, 12, 16 and 25 mm.
Semi-solid plates are available in thicknesses of 6, 8 and 12 mm.
Plates of hard and superhard grades have a thickness of 2.5, 3.2, 4.5 and 6 mm.
With the correct selection of the types and sizes of fiberboard, construction and facing works are greatly facilitated, which, in addition, provides significant financial savings.
Dimensions of length and width of fiberboard boards
Fiberboard sheets with all their subtlety are distinguished by an impressive area. Their length can be from 1220 to 3000 mm., And the width - from 1220 to 1700 mm.
The maximum existing size of fiberboard for sale can be - 6100x2140 mm., Which is more likely to be used for industrial enterprises, and not for domestic purposes.
Fiberboard density
The density of the semi-solid fiberboard boards is at least 850 kg / m3.
And the density of superhard fiberboard is at least 950 kg / m3.
The density of soft fiberboard boards is not more than 350 kg / m3.
The thermal conductivity of various types of fiberboard is in the range of 0.046-0.093 W / mK.
Varieties of brands of hardboard
Hardboard boards are available in certain grades:
- T - solid with an untreated face layer;
- TP - solid with a painted outer layer;
- T-C - solid with a lining of fine wood pulp;
- T-SP - solid with a lining of fine wood pulp and a painted outer layer;
- ST - superhard plates with an untreated outer layer;
- ST-S - superhard slabs with a lining of fine wood pulp.
According to the physicomechanical characteristics of fiberboard boards of TP, T-SP grades. TS and T are classified into groups: A and B.
According to the quality indicators of the surface treatment of fiberboard, plates of these grades are classified into grades I and II.
Varieties of brands of soft fiberboard
Soft fiberboard boards according to the density parameters are represented by the following brands:
- M-1;
- M-2;
- M-3.
