Low-density fibreboard (LDF) is a very similar product to its better known composite board cousin MDF, the only difference being, as the name suggest in the density of the board. Whilst MDF is normally produced at a density of 620-750 kg/m³, anything lower than around 600 kg/m³ or normally around 550 kg/m³, might be considered as low density.

The decreased density tends to make the product less hardwearing and lighter in appearance, though gives it some insulative and impact qualities. However lower density fibre boards can go as low as 50 kg/m³, at this kind of density they may be referred to as wood fibre insulation, as this is their primary use, and they tend to come in greater thicknesses.

Low-density fibreboard is generally produced in thicker sheets, from around 9mm to 30mm (excluding low density wood insulation boards which might be upto 200mm thick. LDF boards are a lighter and often cheaper alternative to denser boads. In particular they might be used in manufacture of decorative panelling or displays aswell as furniture that needs to be light. As with most fibreboard products, moisture can cause issues but the use of wax aswell as resins can improve its performance, particularly in extreemly low density fibre boards or wood fibre insulation which might be designed for external use, behind a rainscreen.
