Abstract: Disclosed in accordance with the invention is a method for fiberboard manufacture comprising the steps of steaming and grinding woodchips to obtain a wood pulp, using said wood pulp to prepare a slurry of wood pulp in water, mixing said slurry with a binder, a cure catalyst for the binder, a water-repellent additive, peat, and carbamide to obtain a mixture, casting said mixture and dewatering said mixture to obtain a mat, and compacting said mat to obtain fiberboard which is subjected to heat treatment, in which method the peat used has a moisture content of between 25 and 70 percent and the peat content in said mixture is between 2.5 and 50 percent by mass, with the ratio of absolutely dry peat to said binder equal to between 1.0-7:1.0, respectively, while the carbamide content in said mixture is between 0.2 and 2.0 percent by mass, with the ratio of said carbamide to said binder equal to between 0.02-1:1, respectively.
