What is MDF Board?

Medium Density Fibreboard (MDF) is a manufactured board produced by combining wood fibres with wax and a resin binder under heat and pressure. The resulting hot pressed 2440mm x 1220mm MDF panels are an extremely strong and dense material that can be used for a variety of applications; MDF boards are generally denser and offer more strength than plywood or particle board. 

It's also one of the most environmentally friendly materials on the market, as it is made from renewable resources. So next time you're looking to make a piece of furniture or try your hand at cabinetry, consider using MDF! You'll be doing your part to help the environment, and you'll end up with a beautiful and long-lasting product.

Safety Considerations

• When in a workshop environment, workshop machines should be fitted with appropriate dust extraction equipment
• Should be worked in a well-ventilated area to avoid inhalation of MDF dust 
• Correct PPE such as dust masks and goggles should be worn when cutting
