Description
Production Process
MDF, or Medium Density Fibreboard, is an engineered wood product. To create an MDF board, softwood fibres are broken down and combined with durable wax or resin to bind them together. This mixture is then treated under heat and pressure to create an exceptionally strong wooden panel. MDF is also lighter than comparable wooden sheets, making it easier to fit and handle.
