Fiberboard is a type of engineered wood product that is made out of wood fibers. Types of fiberboard in order of increasing density include particle board, medium-density fiberboard and hardboard, also called high-density fiberboard. Fiberboard is sometimes used as a synonym for particle board, but particle board usually refers to low-density fiberboard. Plywood is not a type of fiberboard, as it is made of thin sheets of wood, not wood fibers or particles. Fiberboard, particularly medium-density fiberboard, is heavily used in the furniture industry. For pieces that will be visible, a veneer of wood is often glued onto fiberboard to give it the appearance of conventional wood.
