Hardboard is produced by converting wood into fibers (defibering) and then reconstructing the fibers into panels.

Hardboard is a composite panel manufactured primarily from inter-felted ligno-cellulosic fibers consolidated under heat and pressure in a hot-press to density of 31 pounds per cubic foot or greater. Other materials may be added during the manufacturing process to improve certain properties, such as resistance to abrasion and moisture, and increased strength and durability.

Because hardboard is a type of unfinished composite panel made from residual wood fiber, such as chips and shavings, it is carefully value engineered for each application. This results in product solutions which are substantially less expensive than alternatives. Hardboard has a uniform thickness, density and appearance and has no grain. It resists marring, scuffing and abrasion, as well as changes in temperature and humidity. Hardboard sheets can be cut, routed, shaped and drilled with standard woodworking tools. In addition, hardboard can be securely glued or fastened with screws, staples or nails. Hardboard panels can be laminated with paper overlays, plastic laminates and veneers.
