The use of Medium and High Density Fiberboard (MDF/HDF) has grown
enormously during the past decade, particularly by furniture manufacturer and
do-it-yourself enthusiasts.
MDF/HDF is an engineered, machineable product with great structural integrity.
It offers some significant advantages over material like
Particle Board (PB), including superior dimensional stability and greater
versatility in terms of shaping.
HDF is generally used in the flooring industry, and contains more resin and
fiber per cubic meter than MDF. It is often also referred to as MDF.
Typical MDF/HDF applications include:
- Laminate flooring
-
Building & construction (wall paneling, flooring, doors etc.)
-
Furniture (fitted kitchens, bathroom fitments, bedroom furniture etc.)
- Interior fitments (in offices, hotels, museums etc.)
- House ware
(storage boxes, picture frames, toys etc.)
