Masonite Products
Hardboard & Softboard
Hardboard is an environmentally friendly timber based panel product. It is commonly referred to as “Masonite”, and is manufactured from sawmill waste and forest thinning’s which are broken down into wood fibres and bonded together with natural occurring wood glues (Lignins) eliminating the need for synthetic resins.
Masonite has good dimensional stability, is very durable and has excellent machining and working properties. As it has no grain or knots it will not easily split or splinter. It can be easily shaped or moulded, has excellent nailability and high internal bond strength for glueing.
Masonite is the ideal product for draw bottoms, door skins, flooring underlay, work benches, cupboard door backing, wall and ceiling linings and storage solutions.
