Our premium, warp-resistant, FSC-Certified 1/8” Hardbord will ensure your artwork is supported to prevent damage from warping, bowing or movement - it is the choice substrate for all Ampersand Museum Series coated panels. A great alternative to canvas, Hardbord is perfectly suited for all acrylic gessoes, specialty grounds, traditional gesso, and oil primers and is also a perfect support to mount watercolor papers, photographs, fabrics, prints and more. Ampersand uses true high-density hardboard made from US-grown renewable and FSC Certified Aspen wood fibers and is made without formaldehyde or harmful VOC’s (volatile organic compounds) unlike other hardboards and MDF boards.

From the brand
-
At Ampersand Art Supply, surface matters. In 1994, we began our mission of reviving the time-honored tradition of panel painting with the creation of Claybord, our first coated painting panel. Today we have eleven surfaces that support all media ranging from oils to watercolor and even launched a line of innovative solid wood Floaterframes and Duoframes to protect your artwork beautifully. Surface matters, because your art matters.

“Aquabord quickly became my favorite water-media surface because once sealed, my paintings do not need to be covered by glass.”

"I paint exclusively on Claybord now. The surface is exquisite."
