MDF Wood

What is MDF Wood?

MDF (Medium Density Fireboard) wood is an engineered material made by breaking down hardwood or softwood residuals into fine particles, combining it with wax and a resin binder, before applying high temperature and pressure.

MDF wood performs considerably better than real wood in many areas. As a composite material of high quality, MDF wood can withstand changes in humidity and heat better than solid wood. Real wood tends to expand and contract when humidity and temperatures rise and fall.

MDF wood fibre can be obtained from any species of wood or wood residues and agricultural wastes such as sawdust or wood shavings.

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

Benefits of Using MDF Wood?

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

• Hard to crack – If you try to bend a MDF wood board, it would rather snatch then warp. This is why engineered wood has the advantage of being resilient to moisture unlike its opponents.
• Cost Effective – while not necessarily the cheapest product on the market, it’s fair to say MDF Wood prices are competitive when compared to other sheet materials. You’re getting your money’s worth when buying MDF wood 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 wood because its density is more as compared to porous and open grained natural wood. Thus, a strong hold can be created by using MDF wood.
