NCHNWOOD_HARDBOARDHartfaserplatteHardboard (not to be confused with hardwood), also called High-Density Fiberboard (HDF), is a type of fibreboard, which is similar to particle board and medium-density fiberboard, but is denser, much stronger and harder because it is made out of exploded wood fibres which have been highly compressed. Consequently, the density of hardboard is 31 lbs or more per cubic foot (500 kg/m³)[2] and is usually about 50-65 lbs per cubic foot (800–1040 kg/m³). It differs from particle board in that the bonding of the wood fibers requires no additional materials, although resin is often added. Unlike particle board, it will not split or crack.23.05.2025relevantrelevantrelevant
NCHNWOOD_HARDWOODHartholzA general term referring to any variety of broad-leaved, deciduous trees, and the wood from those trees. The term has nothing to do with the actual hardness of the wood; some hardwoods are softer than certain softwood (evergreen) species.23.05.2025relevantrelevantrelevant
NCHNWOOD_MEDIUM_DENSITY_FIBREBOARDMitteldichte Faserplatte (MDF-Platte)Medium-Density Fibreboard (MDF) is an engineered wood product made by breaking down hardwood or softwood residuals into wood fibres, combining them with wax and a resin binder, and forming panels by applying high temperature and pressure. MDF is generally denser than plywood. It is made up of separated fibres, but can be used as a building material similar in application to plywood. It is stronger and much more dense than particle board.23.05.2025relevantrelevantrelevant
NCHNWOOD_ORIENTED_STRANDBOARDGrobspanplatte (OSB-PlatteOriented Strand Board (OSB), also known as sterling board, sterling OSB, aspenite, and smartply, is an engineered wood particle board formed by adding adhesives and then compressing layers of wood strands (flakes) in specific orientations. OSB may have a rough and variegated surface with the individual strips of around 2.5 × 15 cm (1" × 6"), lying unevenly across each other and comes in a variety of types.23.05.2025relevantrelevantrelevant

NCHNWOOD_PARTICLE_BOARDSpanplatte, Particle BoardParticle Board, also known as particleboard, chipboard, and Low-Density Fibreboard (LDF), is an engineered wood product manufactured from wood chips, sawmill shavings, or sawdust, and a synthetic resin or other suitable binder, which is pressed and extruded. Particle board is a composite material.23.05.2025relevantrelevantrelevant
NCHNWOOD_PLYWOODSperrholzPlywood, a manufactured wood panel similar to LDF, MDF, and HDF, is made from layering thin sheets of wood. Plywood layers (called veneers or plies) are glued together, with adjacent plies having their wood grain rotated relative to adjacent layers up to 90 degrees. All plywoods bind resin and wood fibre sheets (cellulose cells are long, strong and thin) to form a composite material.23.05.2025relevantrelevantrelevant
