MDF - Medium Density Fibreboard
  MDF

 
An extremely versatile product that is suitable for many interior projects. It cannot be used for outside work exposed to wet weather conditions, but is an asset for shelving, cupboards and surfaces inside the home.

It has a fine texture that is even throughout its length. This is due to the method used in manufacture. Bonding wooden fibres together under high pressure forms MDF.

Due to the fineness of the fibres, it is advisable to use a mask when sawing the boards to avoid inhaling the fine dust particles. The sheets are available in numerous thicknesses including 9mm, 12mm, 15mm, 18mm.
