JSD and HSD boards for upholstered furniture | A reliable alternative to plywood
We produce JSD and HSD structural boards designed specifically for manufacturers of upholstered furniture. They offer a reliable, more affordable, and environmentally friendly alternative to plywood. The boards are easy to machine, hold screws securely without splintering, and are ideal for both large-scale production and custom workshop projects. Every board is made from certified Czech wood, with a strong focus on quality and sustainability.
Why choose StrongBoards over plywood? Key advantages for furniture manufacturers
JSD and HSD boards provide several major advantages for Czech furniture manufacturers:
- More affordable than plywood – same performance, lower cost
- Superior workability – perfect for both CNC machining and manual workshop processing
- Reliable supply – locally manufactured with no long lead times
- An environmentally friendly choice – with a reduced carbon footprint
- Greater dimensional stability – a uniform composition ensures high accuracy
- Supporting local production.
Both boards are produced in the Czech Republic with a strong focus on quality and sustainability.
Key advantages for manufacturers:
- Lower weight – for easier handling and faster assembly
- Easy to work with – effortless cutting, stapling, and drilling
- Cost-efficient – one of the most economical solutions on the market → Homogeneous surface – ideal for fabric bonding and surface treatments
- Sufficient strength – fully suitable for standard load requirements The JSD board is offered in both colored and non-colored versions, depending on your needs.
Common advantages for furniture makers:
Both boards – JSD and HSD – are manufactured in the Czech Republic with a focus on ecology and the efficient use of recycled materials. Furniture makers gain not only a high-quality construction material but also a compelling argument for their customers – support for local production, sustainability, and a lower carbon footprint.
HSD board – a high-quality plywood alternative for structural load-bearing applications
HSD is a dense structural board designed for furniture manufacturers who require maximum strength and load-bearing performance. In terms of its properties, it matches — and in some cases even exceeds — traditional plywood.
When to choose the HSD board:
• Load-bearing frames and structural framing
• Support panels for mechanisms (fold-out or folding elements)
• Slatted bases and lower structural compon
• Exposed structural parts designed for long-term load-bearing
Why HSD outperforms traditional plywood:
→ Higher load capacity – built to withstand heavier, long-term loads
→ Superior joint strength – screws and staples hold firmly without splintering
→ Greater stability – precise dimensions with no deformation
→ CNC-friendly – clean machining with no defects or cracking
→ More cost-effective – lower price with no compromise on quality
The HSD board is produced with highly precise parameters, making it suitable for both automated production lines and traditional workshop manufacturing.
Thanks to precise manufacturing parameters, the boards can be used for modern CNC machining as well as traditional workshop processing. The surfaces of both boards are designed to effectively accept surface finishes or be directly covered with upholstery.
FAQs
For which parts of upholstered furniture are JSD and HSD boards most suitable?
The JSD board is perfect for lighter, less stressed components such as sides, backrests, rear panels, and lower reinforcements.
HSD is the ideal choice for load-bearing and mechanically stressed components — such as seat frames, bases of fold-out mechanisms, and structural infills that need to withstand long-term loading. HSD can reliably replace plywood in these applications.
Can the boards replace plywood?
Absolutely. Thanks to its strength properties, the HSD board fully replaces plywood in all standard applications in upholstered furniture. On top of that, it offers:
✓ Reliable, consistent supply with no long lead times
✓ A better price – more affordable than high-quality plywood
✓ Superior machinability – easier CNC cutting with clean, precise edges
✓ Improved screw retention – with no splintering or edge cracking
✓ Ekologičtější řešení – z českého recyklovaného dřeva
Are the boards suitable for mass production?
Absolutely. Both JSD and HSD boards are specifically engineered for continuous, year-round series production. We offer:
✓ Precise, consistent dimensions – no variations or deformation
✓ Homogeneous composition – stable material properties for automated production lines
✓ Excellent machinability – ideal for both CNC production lines and manual craftsmanship
✓ High production capacity – we can reliably supply even large-scale manufacturing
Do the boards hold staples and screws?
Yes. Both JSD and HSD boards have the ideal density and structure for all common upholstery fastening systems:
✓ Stapling – smooth, trouble-free fastening
✓ Screw fastening – screws stay firmly in place without pull-out
✓ Adhesive bonding – an ideal surface for high-quality textile and material adhesion
HSD has a higher density, making it particularly suitable for highly stressed joints and load-bearing components where long-term stability is crucial.
