Medium Density Fiberboard

Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF) is a type of engineered wood composite denser and stronger than particle board. It is made by combining wood fibers with resins and wax, and then pressing the mixture into flat panels under high temperatures and pressure.

Common uses:
 * Residential and commercial buildings
 * Cabinetry and furniture-making
 * Doors, jambs, and millwork
 * Edge shaping and machining
 * Embossing
 * Laminate flooring
 * Laminating and finishing
 * Trim moulding
 * Office and residential furniture
 * Prefinished panelling
 * Store fixtures
 * Kitchen cabinets

Benefits:
 * MDF is generally cheaper than plywood.
 * It has a smooth, dense surface ideal for painting.
 * It is very hard and dense, perfectly flat, and extremely resistant to warping.
 * It is composed of small wood fibers, so there are no voids like those in particle boards.
 * It can be purchased in different thicknesses depending on the project.
 * It is well-suited for the residential construction of modern homes.
