Q: What is HDF?

A: Also referred to as hardboard, a high-density fiberboard (HDF) is a type of

engineered wood product. It's made from wood fiber extracted from chips and

pulped wood waste. HDF is similar but much harder and denser than particle

board or medium density fiberboard (MDF).

front face and the back face of our environmentally friendly HDF core.

Q: What is the average length of Wall planks?

A: Wallplanks come in lengths anywhere between 12"-47" with over 80% of

the boards in a carton being the full 47" length.

Q: What is the radius the boards can flex?

A: Wall Plank boards have a built-in feature called "Wall Flex" that helps each

board to contour to slightly out of flat walls. The product is not designed to

flex around or over architecturally contoured or curved walls.

Embossed wallpaper: The adhesive on the back of the wallplanks is 1/32" thick. If the embossing on the wallpaper raises out more than that it is possible that the Wall planks adhesion will be interrupted every time it goes over the embossing. This could result in less than a firm bond. The installer will need to test bond strength with several Wall planks to ensure adhesive bond strength to the embossed wallpaper before proceeding with the entire installation.
