Finnboard Modelling

This product information sheet introduces Finnboard, a strong, versatile, and sustainable modelling material made from unbleached wood-pulp offcuts from the Finnish timber industry. It outlines Finnboard’s key properties—its high strength, stability, smooth surface, acid-free composition, and ability to be laser-cut, glued, curved, and painted. The guide explains how to process Finnboard using standard modelmaking tools, form it into curves by dampening, and select from the available thicknesses and sheet sizes. Widely favoured in architectural modelmaking, Finnboard offers an eco-friendly alternative to traditional greyboard.
