What is Medium Density Fibreboard (MDF)?
Medium-density fibreboard, or MDF, is a lightweight and durable engineered wood material made by combining wood fibers and pulp with wax and resin. It is significantly more affordable than solid planks since it utilizes byproducts from other wood manufacturing processes. Standard MDF sheets are available in various lengths and thicknesses, and they can be purchased as full sheets or cut to size. Additionally, there are different types of MDF boards available (see below) to suit specific requirements.
How is MDF made?
In the 1920s, William Mason devised a method to repurpose discarded wood chips from traditional plank processing. His efforts led to the creation of a new material known as medium-density fibreboard or MDF.
The manufacturing process of standard MDF sheets involves collecting wood chips and sawdust, which are then combined with a resin to bind the particles together.
Through compression, the wood chips form uniform sheets, resulting in a thin yet strong piece of wood that is easy to cut to size and shape accurately down to the millimeter.
What are 50mm MDF sheets used for?
50mm MDF sheets are incredibly versatile construction materials suitable for various applications, including DIY projects and professional use. They are commonly used to create furniture for homes, thanks to their lightweight nature and paintability. Some typical interior applications for 50mm MDF boards include:
- Wardrobes
- Doors
- Media units
- Bunk beds
- Kitchen cabinets
- Shelving units
