Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF).

What Is MDF? Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF) is an engineered wood product created by breaking down hardwood or softwood residuals into wood fibers. These fibers are then combined with wax and a resin binder. The resulting mixture is formed into panels through high temperature and pressure. MDF is generally denser than plywood and offers several…

MDF – why people are choosing Rtree Water Resistant board instead of MDF

What’s MDF Made of? MDF stands for Medium-Density Fiberboard. It’s like the Swiss Army knife of wood—it’s made by gluing together tiny wood fibers with a special resin. Then, it’s pressed into flat sheets, resulting in a smooth, dense board that’s perfect for all sorts of projects. Why People Love MDF What to Keep in…
