Advantages of using MDF

MDF is a lot cheaper than plywood or wood.
Since the MDF is consistent and smooth, it is ideal for drilling, machining, cutting and processing. This makes it a favorite for creating detailed designs like trims, scrolls, scallops and cut outs.
It is available in termite, fire and water resistant forms.
There are MDF boards for both interior and exterior grade usage.
The surface of MDF is very smooth owing to the fine wood fibers used and repeatedly pressed under high pressures.
It is free from knots and joint defects on the surface.
The smooth surface of MDF provides a great surface for painting. This allows you to match the MDF boards to whatever colour scheme is desired by the users, thus facilitating a flexibility above other construction materials.
It can also be used to manufacture veneer owing to its smoothness.
With a very consistent grain pattern throughout the MDF, cut edges appear smoother and are free from defects like splinters, kinks or voids.
These smooth cut edges enable you to create decorative edges and trimmings for beautifying any project.
It gives a stylish look at budget prices making this an affordable alternative for wood.
