MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard)
MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard) is a panel made from fine wood fibers compressed together, producing a very flat surface. MDF is ideal for painted furniture and carved detailing, although it is less water-resistant than plywood.
- Very smooth surface, ideal for painting
- Easy to shape and carve
- Heavier than plywood
- Less water-resistant
Advantages of MDF
Because its fibers are fine and dense, MDF is easy to cut, shape, and carve without splintering. Its flat surface produces a smooth paint finish, ideal for modern-style furniture and decorative panels.
Limitations
MDF is heavier and less moisture-resistant than plywood, so it is not recommended for wet areas. For load-bearing and screw-holding strength, plywood remains superior.
