fibreboard
Compressed wood sheets
Fibreboard is a building material made from wood fibres compressed into flat sheets.
Denser than particle board but softer than plywood, it serves as insulation, sheathing, or backing material in construction and furniture.
Medium-density fibreboard (MDF) is a common variety used for cabinetry and shelving.
Also spelled fiberboard.
