MDF Sheets

What is MDF Sheets?

MDF Sheets or Medium-density fireboard sheets are a man made wood that is free from natural defects. MDF is very versatile and suitable for a wide number of internal applications such as internal joinery, panelling, boxing in, furniture, shelving, modelling, shop fittings, and architectural mouldings.

Unlike plywood, MDF sheets don’t have a wood-grain appearance; it has a consistent light-brown colour with no discernible texture or pattern. MDF is much harder, smoother and denser than plywood, and it doesn’t have any voids, knots, or splinters.

We supply a range of versatile MDF sheets at great prices. Our sheets come in a wide range of thicknesses, from 6mm to 25mm to suit whatever purpose you need.

Benefits of Using MDF Sheets?

There are numerous benefits of using MDF Sheets in your project, as opposed to using other sheet materials like plywood.

• Smoothness – because of its smooth surface, there are never any knots or rings on any MDF sheet. This sheet material also makes a superb surface for painting due to its smoothness.
• Cost Effective – while not necessarily the cheapest product on the market, it’s fair to say MDF prices are competitive when compared to other sheet materials. You’re getting your money’s worth when buying MDF for your project.
• Easier to Paint –  Contrary to solid timber, engineered wood lacks any specific grain or texture. This means that it’s easier to sand and prime without having to worry about looks or at worst – knots.
• Flexibility – Hinges and screws fix better on MDF because its density is more as compared to porous and open grained natural wood. Thus, a strong hold can be created by using MDF.
