This demonstration shows a standard concealed cupboard hinge being installed into 18mm HulkBoard (HB) using conventional joinery tooling and workshop processes.

No special surface preparation was required. The hinge cup was drilled using standard bits, and the fixing screws were installed directly into the board with clean engagement and strong holding performance.

HulkBoard is engineered to integrate seamlessly into existing cabinetmaking and joinery workflows. For fabricators, that means no change to familiar machining methods, no specialised tooling, and no additional surface treatment steps. The material cuts cleanly, holds fixings reliably, and supports precision hardware installation in the same way manufacturers expect from conventional substrates.

At the core of the board is regeneratively grown Australian hemp fibre, processed and manufactured in Townsville. By focusing on both material performance and practical workability, HulkBuild is enabling a shift toward bio-based substrates that can operate at commercial scale within real production environments.

For cabinet makers, shopfitters and commercial joinery teams, the objective is simple: a board that performs predictably on the bench while supporting the broader move toward lower-impact material systems.

Typical applications for 18mm HulkBoard include:

– Kitchen and bathroom cabinetry
– Commercial joinery and fit-outs
– Office furniture and storage systems
– Internal architectural joinery
– Routed and CNC-machined components

As more projects look to align material selection with sustainability goals, maintaining workshop efficiency becomes critical. HulkBoard is designed to support that transition without introducing unnecessary complexity into established manufacturing workflows.

If you are currently specifying or machining conventional particleboard or MDF, this demonstration provides a practical reference point for how HulkBoard behaves under standard hardware installation conditions.

This project documents a compact kitchen cabinet installation fabricated entirely from HulkBoard (HB), demonstrating how the material performs across both carcass construction and benchtop applications within a single integrated fit-out.

The cabinetry and drawer components were manufactured from 18mm HulkBoard and assembled using standard cabinetmaking methods. Panels were cut, machined and edged using conventional workshop tooling, with white edging applied to deliver a clean, contemporary finish. The board was left in its natural state on exposed faces, highlighting the material’s inherent appearance while maintaining a refined, production-ready outcome.

For the work surface, 32mm HulkBoard was used to form the benchtop. After fabrication, the surface was painted black and sealed with a clear epoxy topcoat. This finishing approach provides a durable, high-clarity surface with enhanced depth and a premium visual finish suitable for residential and light commercial environments.

Together, the project demonstrates the versatility of HulkBoard across multiple thicknesses and applications within the same joinery package. From cabinet internals through to finished benchtops, the material integrates directly into established fabrication workflows without requiring specialised processing or non-standard adhesives.

HulkBoard is manufactured in Townsville from regeneratively grown Australian hemp fibre and engineered to deliver the density, stability and fixing performance required for modern cabinetmaking and interior fit-outs. The board machines cleanly, holds hardware reliably and supports a wide range of finishing options — from natural exposed panels through to painted and epoxy-coated surfaces.

Typical applications demonstrated in this project include:

– Kitchen cabinetry and drawer systems
– Residential and multi-residential joinery
– Painted or natural-finish cabinet components
– Epoxy-finished benchtops and work surfaces
– Integrated kitchen and utility fit-outs

As more projects seek to balance material performance with lower-impact inputs, the ability to substitute conventional particleboard or MDF without disrupting workshop efficiency becomes increasingly important. HulkBoard is designed to support that transition, providing fabricators with a predictable, workshop-friendly substrate that aligns with evolving material expectations.

For cabinet makers, shopfitters and designers evaluating bio-based alternatives, this installation provides a practical reference for how HulkBoard performs across a complete small-scale kitchen application.

This project showcases a veneered benchtop constructed on 32mm HulkBoard (HB), demonstrating the material’s compatibility with conventional joinery and finishing workflows.

The timber veneer was applied directly to the HulkBoard substrate using standard wood glue. No surface preparation or special priming was required prior to bonding. Once positioned, the veneer was clamped in place and allowed to cure using typical workshop practice.

Following cure, a thin epoxy finish was applied across the surface to achieve a refined, high-gloss result. The coating enhances depth, clarity and durability, producing a glass-like finish suited to high-end interior applications.

The outcome highlights an important advantage of HulkBoard: it integrates seamlessly into established fabrication methods. For cabinet makers and furniture manufacturers, this means bio-based substrates can be adopted without introducing additional process complexity or specialised treatment steps.

At its core, HulkBoard is manufactured from regeneratively grown Australian hemp fibre and processed in Townsville under controlled conditions. The board is engineered to provide the density, stability and workability required for precision joinery and architectural surfaces.

Applications for veneered 32mm HulkBoard include:

– Architectural benchtops
– Feature joinery and cabinetry
– Commercial fit-outs
– Reception counters and retail surfaces
– High-end furniture components

As material selection across the construction and interiors sectors continues to evolve, the ability to pair regenerative feedstocks with familiar workshop processes becomes increasingly important. HulkBoard is designed to support that transition — delivering predictable machining, reliable bonding performance and premium finishing outcomes.

For fabricators currently working with MDF or particleboard substrates, this example provides a practical reference for how HulkBoard performs in real benchtop manufacturing conditions.

This demonstration shows iron-on edge banding being applied to 18mm HulkBoard (HB) using conventional joinery tools and standard workshop practice.

The edging was installed using a typical iron-on method, with heat applied evenly across the banding to activate the adhesive. No special surface preparation, priming or substrate treatment was required prior to application. The edging bonded cleanly to the HulkBoard edge, producing a smooth, consistent finish with strong adhesion.

From a fabrication perspective, this highlights an important advantage of HulkBoard — it integrates directly into existing cabinetmaking workflows. There is no need for specialised adhesives, modified temperatures or non-standard techniques. The board machines cleanly, accepts edge treatments reliably, and supports the same finishing processes manufacturers already use every day.

At its core, HulkBoard is manufactured in Townsville from regeneratively grown Australian hemp fibre. The material is engineered to deliver the density, stability and edge integrity required for precision joinery and commercial furniture production.

Typical applications for edged 18mm HulkBoard include:

– Kitchen and bathroom cabinetry
– Commercial joinery and fit-outs
– Office furniture and storage systems
– Retail and hospitality fit-outs
– CNC-machined cabinet components

As the industry continues to explore lower-impact material options, maintaining workshop efficiency remains critical. HulkBoard is designed to support that transition — enabling fabricators to adopt bio-based substrates without introducing unnecessary process changes.

For cabinet makers and joinery teams currently working with conventional particleboard or MDF, this example provides a practical reference point for how HulkBoard performs during everyday edge finishing operations.

This demonstration showcases the installation of cam and bolt mechanical fasteners into 18mm HulkBuild boards, highlighting their compatibility with conventional knock-down and concealed connection systems used in cabinetry and furniture manufacturing.

In this example, the cam bolts are installed into 18mm HulkPlus2 (H2) using screw-in threaded insert nuts to provide strong, repeatable engagement within the substrate. The corresponding cam fittings are housed in 18mm HulkBoard (HB), routed using standard machining practices.

Once assembled, the cam mechanism draws the two panels together, creating a secure mechanical connection without the need for exposed fixings through the finished face. This system is commonly used in cabinetry, modular joinery, and flat-pack components where clean external surfaces and concealed structural fixing are required.

The installation process follows standard workshop procedures. The boards were drilled and routed using conventional tooling, and the threaded inserts and cam housings seated cleanly within the material. No special preparation or substrate modification was required.

This type of hardware integration demonstrates an important aspect of HulkBuild’s material performance: the ability to support precision mechanical fasteners in real production environments. For cabinet makers and furniture manufacturers, that means established joinery systems — including cam and bolt assemblies, dowels, hinges, and concealed connectors — can be used confidently with hemp-based substrates.

HulkPlus2 (H2) offers increased density and fastening strength where bolt engagement is required, while HulkBoard (HB) provides a stable and workable panel suitable for routed cam housings and surface components. Together, they allow for concealed, structurally sound assembly methods aligned with modern joinery standards.

Manufactured in Townsville from regeneratively grown Australian hemp fibre, HulkBuild boards are engineered to integrate into existing machining workflows while supporting the transition toward bio-based building materials.

Typical applications include:
– Flat-pack cabinetry
– Modular kitchen systems
– Commercial joinery installations
– Wardrobes and storage units
– Architectural furniture components

For fabricators currently using MDF or particleboard substrates in knock-down systems, this demonstration provides a practical reference for how HulkBuild materials perform under standard concealed mechanical fastening conditions.
