| DVD Dan commented on 03.29.05 | Pin board? Do you mean peg board (predrilled holes)[masonite/hardboard]?
MDF Medium Density Fiberboard, is used for laminate substrates, mouldings, cabinet doors, raised panels and so on. I suspect LDF low density is particle board which is the bottom of the rung. Never actually seen or read about the existance of HDF, but why would they have a medium if there wasn't a high. Actually I think MDF should be called HDF for Hernia Density Fiberboard at least that is how it feels trying to manoeuvre a 100lb 4x8 sheet. |

| Vogon3 commented on 03.29.05 | | Fiber Board to us is the soft sheet used for things like pin boards |

| Vogon3 commented on 03.29.05 | | Dan I think it was once a trade name but now that is what the board is called no matter who makes it |

| DVD Dan commented on 03.29.05 | | Is Sterling a brand name? We'd call it OSB (Oriented Strand Board) here and I'd take it Chipboard is Fiber Board. |

| Vogon3 commented on 03.29.05 | | Rather than...Chipboard is made by bonding together wood particles with an adhesive under heat and pressure to form a rigid board with a relatively smooth surface. Chipboard is available in a number of densities; normal, medium and high-density. Normal density is fairly soft and 'flaky', high-density is very solid and hard (often used for worktops and fire doors) - medium density is somewhere in between.
There are exterior grades of chipboard available but most are only suitable for internal use as all but high-density tend to soak up water like a sponge. Once water logged, chipboard tends to swell and breakdown |

| Vogon3 commented on 03.29.05 | | Sterling board is a wood-based panel manufactured from softwood strands compressed and bonded together with exterior grade, water resistant resins. It is readily identified by the random pattern of flattened, softwood strands which make up the surface.
It can be used in place of other sheet materials but due to the surface finish, it is generally restricted to areas where appearance does not matter. Tongue and Grooved is also available for use on flat roof decking and flooring applications. |
