HDF

What Is HDF ?

Of most engineered wood, HDF is the strongest material and water-resistant by nature. This is why high density fibreboards are the preferred choice as furniture material in heavy-duty spaces like corporates, hotels, theatres and offices. Being one of the strongest types of engineered woods, they’re most durable among fibreboards and can survive up to several years without damage.

This type of wood is commonly used as a floor laminate due to its rigid structure and durability. They are also customised as perforated boards which give a very sleek look in any home or office interior decor space. These perforated boards are used in closet doors and shoe cabinets or any storage space that could use some ventilation.

High density fibreboards are a more affordable option when compared to solid wood or even plywood.
