Wood Fibreboard

Natural woodfibre softboard is a high-performance, eco-friendly timber product that plays a vital role in modern construction, design, and sustainability. Discover the benefits of wood fibreboard and how it supports a sustainable future through renewable resources, energy efficiency, and recyclability.

Renewable Resource

Our softboards are made from natural wood fibres, a renewable resource from sustainably managed forests, ensuring effective resource replenishment.

Environmentally Friendly

Wood fibreboard uses natural lignin as a binder, eliminating synthetic chemicals and reducing environmental impact.

Reducing Overall CO₂

By incorporating woodfibre board solutions into their value chain, industries will reduce their products’ CO₂ footprint.

how its made

Raw material preparation

Wood chips or fibres are initially processed to break them down into smaller components. This is done through mechanical and chemical methods, ensuring the fibres are of consistent size and quality.

how its made

Fibre extraction

The wood fibres are separated from the lignin and other non-fibrous components. This can involve mechanical or chemical pulping methods, depending on the desired properties of the final product.

how its made

Wet process forming

The extracted fibres are mixed with water to create a slurry. This wet process allows the fibers to be evenly distributed and helps in forming the board.

how its made

Natural binding

During the drying and pressing stages, the natural lignin present in the wood acts as a binding agent. This means no additional chemicals or adhesives are used, resulting in a more natural and environmentally friendly product.

how its made

Pressing and finishing

The wet fibre slurry is formed into mats or boards and then compressed under high pressure and temperature. This step consolidates the fibres into a solid, uniform sheet, which is then cut, sanded, and finished as needed.

Advantages of Wood Fibreboard

Thermal performance and heat storage

The air held within a low-density fibre structure gives wood fibreboard useful thermal resistance. Wood fibre also stores heat, which can help complete building assemblies moderate temperature changes. Declared thermal conductivity and resistance depend on the exact product and thickness, while real building performance also depends on continuity, thermal bridges and airtightness.

Acoustic comfort

The porous structure can absorb and dissipate sound energy. In floors it may contribute to impact-sound reduction; in walls, ceilings and interior products it can support absorption and reduced reflection. Avoid using “soundproof” as a material synonym: sound insulation and room acoustics must be evaluated at assembly or room level.

Vapour openness and moisture buffering

Wood fibre is hygroscopic, meaning it can absorb and release moisture as surrounding conditions change. Softboard can therefore support vapour-open, moisture-aware construction when used in a correctly designed build-up. It does not prevent leaks or mould by itself, and it does not replace weather protection, airtightness, ventilation or hygrothermal design.

Low weight and processability

Compared with denser panel types, softboard is lightweight and easy to cut or convert. This supports efficient handling in construction and gives industrial customers a base for shaping, perforating, laminating or finishing. Processing trials and finished-product validation are important for non-standard uses.

Renewable wood and material efficiency

Wood is renewable when sourced from responsibly managed forests, and wood products store biogenic carbon during their service life. Environmental conclusions should be based on current product-specific life-cycle information and the actual supply chain, not a blanket claim that every wood fibreboard is carbon-negative, fully recyclable or biodegradable in every market.
