What Is 9mm MDF? 

In the world of construction and interior design, 9mm MDF stands as a beacon of affordability, functionality, and environmental responsibility. 

Whether you're crafting bespoke furniture, designing custom cabinetry, or adding a touch of elegance to your interior spaces, our 9mm MDF is tailored to bring your vision to life with unmatched ease and efficiency.

9mm MDF is recognised for its consistent, defect-free composition, making it a popular choice in a wide range of construction and crafting applications. Its affordability is a significant advantage, offering a cost-effective solution for both large-scale projects and budget-sensitive endeavours.

What's more, 9mm MDF is notably easy to work with. It can be effortlessly cut, drilled, and glued, which simplifies handling and installation procedures. 

9mm MDF board's smooth surface is particularly advantageous for decorative purposes. It readily accepts paint, veneer, or laminate finishes, making it an excellent material for interior design projects that require a polished aesthetic, such as custom shelving or cabinetry.

Where Is 9mm MDF Used? 

Our 9mm MDF Board is a marvel of versatility, ideal for a myriad of applications ranging from custom furniture to robust flooring.

Designed primarily for interior use, this standard MDF should be shielded from moisture to prevent swelling. However, for environments like kitchens or bathrooms where humidity is a factor, we offer a moisture-resistant MDF variant, specifically engineered to withstand these conditions.

In essence, MDF serves as an optimal choice for non-structural, internal purposes across a wide array of domestic and commercial settings such as: 

• Furniture 
• Flooring 
• Doors 
• Windows 
• Frames
• Shelving 
• Cabinet making
• Shop fittings

9mm MDF Board Finishing

MDF sheet boasts a smooth sanded surface perfect for subsequent decoration. 

The best way to paint MDF is to first coat it in a solvent-based primer of your choice, as this will help the paint adhere to the surface. Once this is done, you can then add the paint - easy.

Other finishes that can be used to decorate MDF are stain or wax, should you want to mix it up a bit.

9mm MDF Board Cutting

One thing that's important to note when cutting MDF, is that MDF dust can be harmful if inhaled. 

When cutting MDF with electric saws we recommend you have the safety hazards covered before cracking on; such as using dust extractors and donning the appropriate safety gear such as dust masks, and respiratory and eye protection. 

No matter the tool, avoid cutting in confined spaces and ensure you're always working in a well-ventilated area.
