High Moisture Resistant (HMR) board is crafted from wood fibers, wax, resin and specialized moisture-resistant additives that are compressed and heated to create a dense, flat panel. This composition provides the HMR board with enhanced resistance to moisture, making it ideal for use in humid or damp environments.
Common applications of HMR board include furniture construction (such as kitchen cabinets, bathroom vanities and shelves), interior doors, paneling, moldings and other decorative elements that may be exposed to higher humidity levels. HMR board accepts paints and finishes well, offering a smooth and even surface for a professional appearance.
While HMR boards offer improved moisture resistance compared to standard Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF), it is still important to consider its limitations.
