Comparison of High-Density Fiberboard (HDF) and High-Density Medium-Density Fiberboard (HDMR): HDF board on the left, featuring a dense composition and smooth surface. HDMR board on the right, displaying similar density but with a medium-density core. Both materials are commonly used in various applications including furniture, flooring, and cabinetry.

HDF – why you should choose HDMR instead of HDF

Curious about HDF? Let’s unravel the mystery behind this versatile wood product. What is HDF? HDF stands for High-Density Fiberboard. It’s a bit like MDF’s tougher sibling—it’s made by compressing wood fibers together with a special resin under high pressure and heat. The result? A super-strong, dense board that’s perfect for a variety of projects.…
