Most Common Fiberboard

• Medium-density fiberboard is the most commonly used fiberboard and is more durable than particle board and less expensive than hardboard. It is still appropriate for most uses.
  
  

Recycling Material

• Because of society's strong interest in recycling, fiberboard increasingly contains waste paper such as telephone books and newspaper, a logical move since paper originates from plant material.
  
  

Features

• The surface of fiberboard is flat and smooth, with no knots or grain patterns.

Vehicles

• The automotive industry includes fiberboard in new vehicles to build dashboards and rear shelves.
  
  

Construction
