Are you looking to upgrade your furniture projects? Medium density fibreboard (MDF) is a great option as it’s an exceptionally versatile product. It can be used to make furniture, cabinetry, panelling and can even be laminated for decorative purposes in flooring.
What makes MDF great for furniture?
MDF offers furniture makers and carpenters a host of benefits, which include: a smooth finish, excellent machinability, strength and consistency. Wood fibres are used to make the panels which are pressed with resin to make a homogeneous panel – making it easier to machine – and therefore allowing greater flexibility and creativity.
As part of the range, 3mm-6mm MDF is mainly used in basic furniture applications such as backings for wardrobes, chest of drawers and shelving. MDF is also now also a popular choice for wall panelling, usually seen in living rooms, hallways and bedrooms, thanks to its smooth and even surface making it easier to apply paint on to it.
