There are three kinds of fiberboard--low-density, medium-density and high-density. All three are made by mixing powdered wood fiber and adhesive, then pressing them in a hydraulic press. Low-density fiberboard is made by compressing a foot-thick pile of fiber to 1/2" thickness. Medium-density fiberboard compresses a foot of fiber to 1/4" thickness, and high-density fiberboard compresses a foot of fiber to 1/8" thickness. Low-density fiberboard is usually coated with asphalt on one side and used as cheap sheathing under siding on houses. Medium-density fiberboard is used for a multitude of purposes, and high-density fiberboard is used for laminate flooring.
