MDF, or medium-density fibreboard, is manufactured by breaking wood into fine fibres, combining them with resin and forming the material into dense panels under heat and pressure.
Unlike solid wood, MDF has a relatively uniform composition without a natural grain structure. This makes it easy to machine, route, paint and finish.
MDF is commonly used for furniture panels, cabinet components, decorative profiles and painted furniture. It is generally intended for interior applications unless specifically manufactured and treated for moisture resistance.
