Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF) is a highly stable material. It is composed of short wood fibers and a binder matrix. It has no grain to cause chipping or tear-out during machining or processing, which also makes it a homogenous, dimensionally stable material. It takes paint and other surface coatings well, and can be suitable for outdoor applications, if finished properly.

  • Is an excellent substrate for veneers.
  • Is becoming an environmentally friendly product.
  • Some varieties are less expensive than many natural woods
  • Isotropic (its properties are the same in all directions as a result of no grain), so no tendency to split
  • Consistent in strength and size
  • Flexible. Can be used for curved walls or surfaces.
